I started making paracord bracelets in 6th grade, shortly after my father took me to an army surplus store. I fell in love with the process and would make bracelets after class, returning the next day to sell them for $5.00 a piece to other students and teachers. I did this for 3 years and by 15, had saved up enough $$$ to buy my first car, a 2013 Scion FRS 6 speed manual with 20,000 miles, my dream car. Over time the creativity faded and I was your typical teenager, gaming every day, sad for no reason, and avoiding family. I worked construction jobs with my step dad (god rest his soul), I worked as a sales rep for Red Wing Shoes, and I dual-enrolled with a local technical college, becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). By 18, I was accepted to the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and was sure that I wanted to become a Doctor. After 3 years of being premed, I knew that this path was not for me. I realized that my true passion lies within helping people, and that I can help without working for a large hospital that charges hundreds of thousands of dollars for their services. I created a Startup (Campus Hands L.L.C) which aims to help renters and homeowners with house chores. From this, I was able to employ many of my college friends and graduate with $0.00 in college debt... During my last semester at UW-Madison, I fell in love with bracelet making, again. It's been a journey, and I hope that you truly enjoy your 1 of 1 piece that I handcrafted. If you are a veteran (like my father), or a first-responder, I deeply appreciate your service and express my gratitude through a 10% discount on any piece.
