WORK HARD. DREAM BIG.
Entrepreneurship has always been a big part of my life. I’ve watched my father, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends run their own businesses for as long as I can remember. At a very young age I was told, “Don’t work for someone else. Be your own boss”. This statement would prove to be profound as it ultimately sparked my entrepreneurial spirit.
So my entrepreneurial journey began when I was in 7th grade. I was flipping packs of bubble gum to all of my friends in school which eventually led to mowing lawns and shoveling snow covered driveways for larger profits. Also, around that time was the birth of Nintendo and Sega Genesis. As these consoles gained popularity, you can probably guess what my next endeavor would be. That’s right, I would collect and trade video games only to flip them for cash to a reliable buyer (Glen, I still remember his name).
Those days are long gone and since then I’ve had a successful technology career where I worked for some of the largest companies on this planet.
I’ve worked alongside some of the brightest engineers and did some amazing work, but the desire of running my own company never faded.
I’ve always had an interest and passion in clothing and apparel. It was a form of expression that went way beyond something I just wore. It was self identity and a sense of freedom and gratification to be able to freely wear what I wanted when I wanted.
So here I am, full circle, sharing a piece of myself by creating, designing and decorating apparel. I am so grateful to have this opportunity and just as excited to serving you the customer.
A special shout-out to my wife for all of your patience, love and support. My son who some day will realize why Daddy hustles the way Daddy hustles.
It’s game time,
B.
