Ocean Grand’s History
In 1997, Ocean Grand’s founder, Scott Michael Ringo, was traveling the Amazon region of South America procuring contracts for an import/export business that he ran from the Caribbean. Busy with appointments, a local business contact hurried him from one area of Belem, Brazil to the other. This day was no different than any other day in his travels in developing countries, and throughout the day less fortunate people met him on the street as he got in and out of the car and asked for money or food.
Just like many other trips to the region, being too busy to help the people who were in such desperate need tugged all day on his heart. Midday, as they pulled away from an appointment, a man’s hand pressed against the car window and slid down its length in desperation just inches away from Scott’s face as they pulled away. That day in that minute, Scott decided he was going to focus more of his time on those that needed his help and not his business.
Since that day, the non-profit organizations that Scott has started for himself and others and the non-profits that he has been involved in have been helping those who cannot help themselves. Ocean Grand not only focuses on helping these people but goes one step further in empowering others to take steps to find their own ways of making the world a better place.
