About Us
WHY GRIT?
I grew up in a blue-collar family and a Christian home—values that continue to shape who I am today. I’ve spent my life around the trades, from framing houses to earning my experienced face papers as an underground coal miner. I’ve honorably served in the military with multiple deployments, hold a Class A CDL, and am now pursuing a career as a lineman. Outside of work, I’m an avid gym goer who lives by hard work, grit, and faith.
Support Your Local was built to honor the men and women who put in the work every day—whether in the trades, the field, or the community.
Grit isn’t just a word—it’s what gets you up before sunrise, laces your boots, and puts steel in your hands. It’s what keeps a lineman climbing in the storm, a miner going underground, an ironworker walking the beam.
It Takes Grit!
At Local Grit Supply, we admire the grit people show every day—whether they’re ironworkers, linemen, miners, veterans, or anyone else who works hard and refuses to quit.
Our designs are more than shirts, flags, and mugs. They’re a way to represent the pride, toughness, and resilience of people who live with grit. We make gear that speaks to the working class, the dreamers, and the doers—the ones who keep pushing forward no matter what. Our products are a salute to those who sweat, grind, and keep the world running.
