OUR STORY

FROM STEEL TO SERVERS. FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE BACKBONE.

Forefather Threads was born over bourbon in Waynedale, Indiana—but the idea had been building for thirty years.

THE LONG ROAD I've spent my life in places most people don't think about.

1992. Setting steel on commercial job sites. Learning that precision matters. That shortcuts kill. That the foundation determines everything that comes after.

1996. Commercial diving school in Seattle. Then six years in the oil fields—hard hat diving, surface-supplied, working depths that required chamber runs. The kind of work where your equipment isn't optional and there are no second chances.

Then Hazmat. Emergency response specialist. The calls that come when everything has already gone wrong. When lives depend on whether you remember your training and keep your head.


Now? Network Engineering Manager. Managing the invisible infrastructure that keeps critical systems running. The backbone nobody sees until it breaks.

Different industries. Different risks. Same lesson every time: When systems fail, people pay the price.

So you maintain what matters. You don't cut corners. You don't compromise on the fundamentals.

THE BREAKING POINT I was never military. But most of my family was. My uncle—career Marine, 20+ years. Other family, same story. Friends too. The kind of people who understood that freedom isn't free and rights aren't guaranteed just because they're written down.

They taught me something the oil fields and Hazmat and network engineering all reinforced: You maintain what matters. Or you lose it.

And somewhere along the way, I started watching us lose it. Not all at once. Not dramatically. Just... incrementally. A regulation here. A "safety measure" there. A compromise. A concession. Death by a thousand cuts.

I got tired of watching rights disappear behind red tape while everyone argued about which party was better at taking them away slower.

So I started Forefather Threads.

WHY THIS EXISTS This company didn't start with a business plan. It started with late nights, good whiskey, and uncomfortable conversations about what's being lost.

We're not here to sell you another flag-waving t-shirt. We're not here to pick a side in the partisan circus.

We're here for The Remnant.

The people who still believe the Constitution wasn't a rough draft. The ones who understand that "shall not be infringed" doesn't have an asterisk. The folks who'd rather be dangerous than governable.

If you're looking for compromise, you're in the wrong place. If you're looking for patriotism-as-performance, keep scrolling.

But if you're tired of watching principles erode while everyone argues about who's doing the eroding... Welcome home.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

  • Originalist. The Constitution wasn't written in pencil.

  • Anti-Partisan. Both parties are guilty. We're not playing their game.

  • Unapologetically Constitutional. We don't apologize for believing in founding principles.

Every product we make is small-batch. Printed in the USA. Designed for people who understand that maintaining the system—whether it's dive equipment, emergency response protocols, or a constitutional republic—requires constant vigilance.

Because when the system fails, people pay the price. And we're not willing to pay it anymore.
