Meet the Founders

Where Precision and Passion Come Together (With a Side of Fun)

 

LORIS isn’t just about high-end gear—it’s about the people who create it. Co-founded by Ben and Kaegan, two former Navy SEALs with a deep love for adventure and a well-timed joke, LORIS brings together the grit of military operations with a passion for the great outdoors. Serious when needed, and always ready to enjoy the ride, Ben and Kaegan are the backbone of this brand, ensuring every piece of gear is as reliable as it is refined.

​

Ben’s the guy who can tell you exactly why your gear needs to work—and make you laugh while doing it. A former US Navy SEAL and Ranger Qualified SOCOM, Ben’s spent over two decades leading operations that require technical expertise, precise execution, and a sharp mind. He’s a master of military apparel and equipment, so you can bet he knows what makes gear perform at the highest level. From special operations to innovative startups, Ben’s leadership is what keeps LORIS ahead of the curve. He’s the brains behind the gear, making sure it’s all as functional as it is fantastic—no compromises.

  

Kaegan’s the kind of guy who’s happiest when he’s out in the wild—and he’s been that way since he was six. A former SEAL Operator and Primary Sniper, Kaegan’s got a love for hunting that’s taken him to four continents and into every kind of terrain imaginable. As a JTAC and Fire Team Lead in a 23-man SEAL platoon, he learned what it takes to lead under pressure, but it’s his lifelong passion for the outdoors that makes him the perfect partner for LORIS. He’s out there testing gear in real-time, making sure everything we create can handle the rigors of the field while keeping you looking sharp. 

 

Together, Ben and Kaegan fuse their military precision with their love for the wild—balancing serious expertise with a good dose of humor. LORIS is built on the belief that the best adventures come with the right gear and the right mindset. With these two leading the way, you know your equipment’s going to perform, and you might just have a little fun while you’re at it.
