A little over 6 years ago I made the decision that I was going to chase the American Dream. It was a time in my life where I was in a comfortable place - my wife and I had bought our first home, we had a one year old baby boy, and I had a steady job. I was grateful for where I was in life, but I read a lot about people that changed the world by going after their version of the American Dream. Their stories convinced me it was possible. So at 32 I reset my life, and made the decision that I was going to push myself beyond my limits and do whatever it took to build my American Dream - brick by brick. I wanted to create a brand that meant something for the hardest working people I knew - my blue collar buddies out there building and repairing the country we live in. This brand would enable me to build a company that created jobs and opportunities for likeminded people who believed in that mission, and in return every employee would become a shareholder in what we built together - a company that provided the best work boots and apparel for the millions of blue collar people who not only depend on it, but deserve it. This was my version of the American Dream. Today, I’m standing in BRUNT’s headquarters in front of a 25 foot American Flag that hangs in our garage. It’s been 6 years of dedicating my life to this brand, to our mission, and to our now 90 employees that I’m proud as hell to work for every day. We’ve turned BRUNT into the fastest growing workwear brand ever, with millions of customers from coast to coast. I’m still chasing that dream, and we’re building it together, brick by f’ckn brick. I hope you enjoy and celebrate our country’s independence today. That independence makes the American Dream possible. Whatever yours is, I hope you chase it. Happy 4th.
