Pursuit Uniform and Shirt Co.

My Uncle Joe and Granpa Freeman opened Freeman Screen Printers in 1989 and it's been a part of our family's fabric ever since. We were always the family taking care of the team's sweats, tees, and jersey orders.  When I was 19, I designed and sold through "Beach Week" tees even though I misspelled Myrtyle Beach. Some years later I did the same thing for the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival and the endeavor again paid for the trip. In fact, I did so well, the next year I expanded the operation, printed three times the amount, and hired a couple of buddies to help peddle the merch.  This time, all three of us were busted in the first hour. Life's lessons.  
 

In 2005, I partnered with Uncle Joe and took to the business like a duck in water. Within a year I'd learned how to operate a screen printing company, balancing the sales/procurement office, art department, and screen printing facility. It was a juggling act, so I learned how to do all of the jobs in case we needed to pick up the speed or work late into the night to finish a big job.  After years of perfecting the process, I started experimenting with outside the box print techniques that resulted in my own line of designer tees, called N/O/D, Nod Original Designs and directly led to meeting my future wife.  But that's another story for another time.​
