JULIE RIFFE

Julie Riffe started spearfishing at 12, following her dad into the sport. He has been a big influence in her life, motivating her to pursue her dreams. Born and raised around spearfishing, it was natural for her to follow in his footsteps.

In her 20s and 30s, Julie traveled the world while raising her two daughters, Kaelyn and Sierra, spearfishing and meeting amazing people along the way.

Today, you can find Julie at RIFFE headquarters ensuring the quality of our products continues to meet Jay's standards, one of the cornerstones upon which the brand was built.
