01 About
Coltin is a Canadian entrepreneur with business interests in custom merchandise production, private financing, real estate and whatever good opportunity comes next.
He splits his time between Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, and travels internationally throughout the year. Wherever he is, home is Atlantic Canada.
In 2012, in his senior year of high school, Coltin co-founded Stay Golden Custom with two friends. While the company may have started as a fun side project, it has accidentally become his career over the past 15 years.
He spent his time at Holland College pushing the brand beyond the classroom, graduating in 2014 with a diploma in Marketing and Advertising Management as class speaker for the Tourism and Culinary campus. After leaving his corporate job later that year to focus on his side hustle full time, Stay Golden Custom has grown into a company serving businesses, teams and brands across Canada.
