I love the United States of America. This is a land of freedom, technology, capitalism, merit, and growth.
I want more American manufacturing and want to work with companies who want to invest in America — especially for advanced manufacturing.
I admire and support people and businesses who are bringing assembly and component manufacturing back to the United States — or never left.
Here are some products I use which are proudly made in USA. This list is incomplete. I will add to it over time.
Apparel
Origin for jeans, workout shorts, and hunting gear. They sell lots of 100% USA made apparel, boots, and sneakers too.
Tellason for t-shirts. They also sell jeans and jackets.
American Giant for t-shirts.

Camber Sportswear for sweatshirts.
Costco for men’s cotton and wool socks.
