INSPIRED by THE GROM FATHER
The Mission
Inspired by the fearless and adventurous spirit of Peter "Buck" Shea, The Grom Father Foundation is dedicated to helping families who are suffering from early tragic loss. Through Live Like Pete guided adventures, we provide opportunities to heal in the embrace of nature, build meaningful connections, and create lasting memories.
With a focus on community, resilience, and hope, we honor the lives of those who have passed while empowering families to find strength and navigate grief together.

”Grom” Means Young Surfer
Pete was the Surf Team Dad and mentor to the young surfers of the Oregon North Coast. So, they called him the "Grom Father." When the surf was up, the Groms would pile into his van, and they would drive the coast looking for the optimal break that day. Pete never let the Groms down.
