Kirk Lombard, fisherman, educator, writer and entertainer founded Sea Forager Tours, turning people on to our local bounty through local fishing and foraging walking excursions in San Francisco and Half Moon Bay. His passion for sustainable seafood led him to create Sea Forager Seafood, a Community Supported Fisheries (CSF) membership program that offers delicious, ethical seafood. Members get the story behind the fish and what makes it sustainable, plus recipes, prep tips, fun events, and tours and tips so that they can learn to catch some of their own seafood. Similar to a CSA produce subscription, members get seasonal, fresh, sustainable seafood weekly or biweekly at a nearby pick up location or home delivery in the Bay Area. Kirk's fishing antics and passion for sustainable seafood have been featured in the New York Times, SF Chronicle, NPR, Food Network, Sunset Magazine, Oprah Network and many more.

Born in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco, Mike Weller grew up in suburbs of San Jose, where he discovered cooking as his first profession and lifetime passion. After wandering through typical teenage jobs at pizza joints and ice cream parlors, Mike’s first “restaurant” job was with Sambo’s Coffee Shops, slinging hash and cooking eggs for the bar rush and Sunday breakfast crowds.  He moved on to help open several restaurants, attend the California Culinary Academy, and study under European chefs with Michelin backgrounds. Later, Mike served as an executive chef for catering companies, wineries and country clubs.  When his son was born, Mike transitioned his career into teaching, returning to the CCA where he eventually became the Executive Chef and Director of Academics.  Having taught for Le Cordon Bleu North America in both online and brick and mortar schools, Mike is thrilled to return to teaching in a neighborhood-based community.  When he is not teaching he tends to his backyard garden, helps his wife to can and preserve food, and loves to cook for his friends and family.
