5mississippi was founded in 2005 by two college friends, Clay Hilbert and Joe Parrish, who love to compete, love to win, and are obsessed with leaving their mark on the world. After roughly 10 years in the working world in very different industries, Clay and Joe re-united to create a company around their shared passion for play and have never looked back. Looking for someone to help them get their products to the masses, Joe and Clay approached Swimways' President, David Arias about coming onboard. David agreed and the three are excited to get 5mississippi products in the hands of consumers worldwide.
