Adam Reiser of Verity One Ltd. Initiates a worldwide water restoration effort from one deeply enduring promise

Sometimes, the most groundbreaking innovations start from a simple pact. Sure, but this is just half of the compelling narrative of the esteemed U.S. Navy veteran and Verity One Ltd. founder Adam Reiser. It all started as a favor and eventually turned into a mission born out of respect, adulation, and admiration.

It began when Pete Petropoulos introduced Adam to William “Tolar” Nolley, the man responsible for a global restoration plan using—who would have guessed—oysters. Tolar had dedicated over twenty years to this cause, investing not only resources but his entire heart.

Adam offered his expertise in technology to support the vision, but during their final conversation, Tolar requested—or more accurately, demanded—something that shook all known human sensibilities. He asked Adam to protect and uphold the lives of everyone who depended on the project. The next day, Tolar passed away. 

From that moment, everything became ever so personal. Adam rose to the occasion, embraced the challenge, and devoted every fiber of his being to fulfill what felt like a covenant. For Adam, it was not about grandstanding, but rather a willing acceptance of a role to honor a dream that should never be halted, regardless of circumstance. This is a quintessential realization of a "'til death do us part" vow, but in a deeply moving fraternal sense.

The remarkable work has progressed—with absolutely no turning back—as "Nutrient Credit" now serves both the environment and the communities built around it. The need is too great to ignore. Adam Reiser gave his word, and he intends to keep it for as long as he draws breath. Now, it's only a matter of time before the whole world's waters are safe and saved—all because of a promise between two friends.
