Oyster Entrepreneur Finds Home in Maine: Brad Blymier

Radio Maine with Dr. Lisa Belisle

Growing up in landlocked southern Pennsylvania, Brad Blymier never imagined a future involving oysters. After graduating with an undergraduate degree in English, Brad was successfully building a career in artificial intelligence software sales on the West Coast when an impromptu call from a childhood friend changed the course of his life. Brad and his wife, Hannah, would go on to become co-owners of a high-end shellfish distribution company, War Shore Trading Co., named for the Virginia duck-hunting shoreline where Brad first tried his hand at oyster farming–at the suggestion of his childhood friend. Raised in Pittsfield, Maine, it was not hard for Hannah to convince Brad to return to her home state, where they both now live with their two sons.
