From a young age, I was always driven by the desire for more—more freedom, more creativity, more meaning. I bounced from job to job, never settling, always searching for something that felt like mine. Watching my mother and stepdad build a restaurant from the ground up showed me the power—and the struggle—of chasing your own dream. They gave it everything they had, but in the end, they walked away. That stuck with me.
Years later, with no money and no experience, I started teaching myself how to press shirts through YouTube videos. I made countless mistakes, learned the hard way, and kept pushing. But it wasn’t until December 2024, when I found out I was going to be a father, that everything truly clicked. My “why” had never been clearer.
“Get Big” was born from that drive—not just to create something for myself, but to build a legacy for my son, take care of my fiancé, and inspire others to pursue their passions relentlessly. This brand isn’t about profit margins or chasing trends. It’s about doing the work, owning your journey, and refusing to give up—no matter how many mistakes you make along the way.
“Get Big” stands for growth, grit, and going after what sets your soul on fire. Because what you build today should be something you—and the people you love—can be proud of tomorrow.
