A Little on Me - A Lot More on Them
Of course I never dreamed that I would one day own a fashion business. I have to credit my greatest love and inspiration - my new wife Anja- for that little piece of manhood.
No, when I was younger I dreamed all the same as other young boys. I wanted to be Walter Payton or Ozzie Smith. Maybe an Olympic swimming champion like Mark Spitz or Matt Biondi. I wanted to play sports all day and love the pure joy of what I was doing for my
self and others.
As I grew older I quickly realized I wasn't meant to be a football player. Being a 98 pound wire at 17 years old ensured that (no, that's not me to the right - I was much more of a weakling). So the quest has continued for something I could love all day where my contributions helped spread that joy. Anja has provided that love. Now we're both working on the joy.
To that end - we're looking to help point people to our favorite cause - Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières). Their mission is to bring international independent medical humanitarian emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural and man-made disasters, and exclusion from health care. They work in nearly 70 countries, and enable adequate healthcare in places where war and disaster have prevented the appropriate infrastructure to be in place.
We look forward to this being our primary charity. Currently we can only try to help draw your attention to it - but when our feet are firmly planted on the ground we'll begin to contribute a portion of our earnings and time to the cause.
While we intend this to be our primary charity - it will not be our only cause. We strongly believe that all people are built the same - and all have equal potential for greatness. Tapping that greatness should be our global society's primary goal - and we would like to highlight those organizations that - regardless of label - seek out underprivledged individuals and give them the tools they need to achieve their greatest for society.
