The early years
Where the partnership first took shape.
By 2010, Austin and his brother Zander were already working together on small entrepreneurial projects: independent consulting, a clothing brand inspired by the Founding Fathers and their faith, and the earliest formation of Stars and Stripes — a musical brand that produced custom branded songs for gymnastics centers across the country. These formative years were not solo work; they were the beginning of a long-running partnership that would define every venture since. The brothers established a working style built on relationships first, faith at the center, and a willingness to build from scratch.
