My name is Dave Nielsen. I have carved out a life centered around my family, surf travel and innovation, founding pioneering brands such as the first protective-lightweight surfboard travel bag, Pro-Lite, which set a standard in the industry and is still widely
used by surf travelers today.

Our latest venture, "Field Worn Readers" is a brand of high-quality, competitively-priced sunglasses and clear readers. Field Worn Readers was born out of my love for surfing and a passion for delving into classic literature while on the road. As Ernest Hemingway once said, "there is no friend as loyal as a book," a sentiment that resonates deeply with me and those who traverse the globe in search of waves and stories.
