Let me break this down to the simplest way possible by pictures of my past. A person who developed into an overcomer. Someone who buried both his creative ability, and trauma, in substance abuse and false sense of life for majority of his life. You see this brand was not established because I want to own a “brand”. This "brand" was created because I was there, ran the miles, and lived it. Like many, I had life chewed me up, spit me out like another statistic, and I got sick of watching people do the same.So why I created Battle Warrior Brands?? I created Battle Warrior Brands based off of the mindset. The mindset of a warrior that went through and overcame the battle. It's about taking control, strive for a better life through a winner's mindset. I challenge myself every day, the next race, the next obstacle, the next struggle, most important the next day. It's all about showcasing the overcomer. CHANGE. CREATE. LEAD.
