We’re two Marines – one former, one still active – brothers in Christ.
In September 2025 we started Jester: custom art, apparel and gear. Hardly original, but our passion and unique ideas poured into a common goal; through the Lord's provision, effect change in people's lives, through art, humor and gear.
The name? Simple.
Real hope isn’t found in Washington, a voting booth, or some influencer’s feed. In a world of distractions, unrest, hatred, sin, and self-crowned kings, we figured some satirical humor was needed. In medieval times the jester was the only one allowed to mock the “king” and keep his head, and so we mock the sin-bound rulers of this world. We believe there’s only one King worth bowing to – and His name isn’t on a ballot or on social media.
We launched, saying half-jokingly that this is to get “NODS for the boys,” but that has become more of a goal holistically. We have made incredible friends through life, and we want to be able to bless them and our families.
We blur faces for those that are still active (we have a bunch of buddies that supply us photos), and for our families. This isn’t about getting famous or being well known, the point of our company is to exalt the Lord, not ourselves.
Right now it’s just the two of us, a couple sewing machines, a garage, guns and coffee. We are committed to getting the details right. No corporate fluff, no boardroom, no corners cut. Just two guys who’ve been across a couple continents together building stuff we’d trust our own lives with.
Everything we make is designed for people who work hard, train harder, and still make it to church on Sunday. We’ll never take ourselves too seriously – but we’ll always take the quality of our gear and the content of our character seriously.
Our ultimate goal for Jester is that you may be encouraged mentally, physically, spiritually and provided quality custom clothing and gear.
So whether you’re here for a shirt that makes your team leader jealous, gear that works as hard as you do, or just a reminder that Christ is still on the throne while the rest of us are just passing through – pull up a chair.
Welcome to the circus.
The only King we serve has already conquered death. Everybody else can take a seat.
