• We both believe in ‘power the good’.
  • Authentically American:
    • Donate 10% of profits to Veteran and First Responder charities.
    • When we partner with a charity/non-profit, we provide our goods and services at cost to help you build your brand and raise some $$$ in the process.
  • Personal: my wife Kelly and I have a 10yr old son Eskel who we adopted from Ethiopia in 2012.
  • The heart of our mission is our passion for job creation.  When I graduated from West Point in 1993, over 50% of the apparel in the US was made in the US.  Today it tragically less than 3%.  This shocking statistic gave birth to our tagline – ‘where is yours made? ®’   Everything from Authentically American is American made.
