Gretchen Geisler is the founder and CEO of Coconoats. She was born and raised in Virginia and found her way to Hawaiʻi. Her father always told her to follow her passion and in doing so she was led to the beautiful island of Maui. A land full of adventure, inspiration, and aloha. A lifestyle that is powered by the sun, earth, and sky. A place where she can be barefoot and carefree, yet serious about creating a life that will inspire others to follow their passion. As a personal trainer and nutrition coach, Gretchen has always had a passion for staying active and feeding her body with whole foods. Training in the gym, playing field hockey, hiking, swimming, or traveling the roads, she was always looking for a snack that not only gave her lasting energy, but was also good for her.

She aspires to educate, encourage, and provide a healthy snack to all people while enlightening customers of the importance of what goes into your mouth, what's on the market now, and how we can change the industry one product at a time. We are here to inspire others to fuel their passion and go after they life they dream. If she can do it, you can too.
