About TrailTrek Threads

Welcome to TrailTrek Threads — a rugged brand forged by nature, built by a lifelong trailblazer, and inspired by the quiet thrill of the outdoors.

My story begins in 1946 in Germany. I immigrated to the United States in 1966, and just six months later, I joined the United States Marine Corps. I served as a Sergeant during the Vietnam War. After returning home a disabled veteran, I pursued my BBA, built a successful career, and raised a big, beautiful family — 4 children, 5 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren. Now retired and living in Texas, I’ve returned to my roots: exploring, designing, and giving back.

TrailTrek Threads was born out of my passion for the wilderness and a deep appreciation for the journey. It’s not just about apparel — it’s about telling a story. Every T-shirt, every hoodie, and every mug we sell reflects the beauty of the untamed trail and the spirit of those who walk it.

Whether you hike for peace, solitude, adventure, or clarity, TrailTrek Threads exists to outfit your passion — with comfort, purpose, and American-made pride. Designed for the doers, the wanderers, the coffee-before-sunrise crowd — and anyone who knows a hike isn’t just about the destination.

Thanks for stopping by. See you out on the trail.
