I grew up in church and gave my life to Christ at a young age, but as I got older, I drifted. What began as small compromises turned into years of running from God and struggling with addiction. Pain, loss, and brokenness marked that season of my life.

In 2020, after losing both my brother and my sister, everything changed. What felt like complete devastation became the moment God began to wake me up. In the middle of grief and brokenness, He met me with mercy.

My wife and I stepped away from everything familiar and entered into a season of change and surrender. In the quiet, God rebuilt what addiction had damaged. He restored purpose where there had been confusion. He replaced shame with identity. He taught me what it means to fully depend on Him. What the enemy meant for destruction, God used for redemption.

When we felt called back to Colorado, it wasn’t to return to who we were, it was to walk in who He had made us to be. Out of that season of restoration, Hineni Clothing was born.

“Hineni” means “Here am I.” It’s the same response from Abraham, Moses, and Isaiah to God's call. It's a response of surrender, the same response given throughout Scripture when God called someone into His purpose. This brand was built from redemption. Every design represents standing boldly in faith. Every piece is a reminder that God restores what we destroy. Every message is for the person who feels too far gone because I was that person. Hineni isn’t just apparel.

It’s surrender in action. It’s identity reclaimed. It’s faith worn publicly in a culture that wants it hidden.

This is more than a clothing brand. It’s my “yes” to God.
