Songwriter, musician, pilot, boater and avid angler, Ian is also co-founder and CEO of vineyard vines, the tie company he started with his brother Shep. After 11 years in business, Ian is still doing what he loves and loving what he does. When he's not in the office, you can usually find him on his way to the Vineyard, decked out in vineyard vines gear with fishing rod in hand.
Brennan Shroff is a writer and director who began his career at the prestigious Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Following film school, Brennan participated in Searchlab, Fox Searchlight's program for emerging directors. Several other shorts went on to win various festivals. Following the success of the short films, Brennan co-wrote and directed the independent feature "Southern Belles" starring Anna Faris, Justin Chambers, Frederick Weller, Judah Friedlander, Laura Breckenridge and others. The film premiered at South by Southwest in 2005 and went on to play at GenArt and other festivals before being purchased by The Sundance Channel for television and DVD distribution. The film quickly became one of Sundance's most profitable titles. Brennan is currently developing two feature films as well as a television show based on his film "Southern Belles." He is also in post on C.S.Chai:The Chosen Gun starring Darrell Hammond, Jerry Stiller, Anne Meara and others.
He's had long hair, short hair and even a mullet (yep, it's true); he wonders if the Rangers will ever win another Stanley Cup; he wears flip flops in the dead of winter; and he bears an uncanny resemblance to one of Hollywood's finest thespians, Keanu Reeves. Though he's better known to friends and colleagues as the guy with the guitar, Jory is the Design Director at vineyard vines and you better believe he knows how to tie a tie. He hails from just outside New York City, where he lives with his wife and daughter, and, when he's not hard at work, he's rehearsing with his band Senor Tadpole.
Shepherd Paul Murray, aka Shep, is co-founder and CEO of vineyard vines, the whimsical tie company he started with his brother, Ian, on Martha's Vineyard back in 1998. While he's an avid boater, angler, musician, art collector, Parrot Head and sailor, the accomplishment he's most proud of is being a dad. And, it shouldn't surprise you to know that any chance he gets, summer or winter, he's all for heading out on the water, with his kids in tow. But don't worry, they love the water just as much as he does...maybe more.
