We always celebrate the men in our lives and their great contributions, and so it is only fitting that this month, we feature one of the best gents and dads I have the privilege to know, Michael A.

It’s been a while, but I’d love for you to meet our next featured Simple Man, Jeff H. And since it is Father’s Day month, we picked one of the best. Jeff is married and has five boys, ages 8-15. By day he is a financial advisor; on his time off (c’mon he has 5 boys – no time off, right) he likes to read, listen to records (vinyl all the way), and is into comics, gaming and Legos. He grew up in the suburbs of Chicago.

Father’s Day month - the perfect time to feature another “Simple Man”, and the first person I thought of for June was Jason. You’ll see why below. He is a damn good person and an even better dad.

Many of you also know, sharing information on those makers is as important to me as the particulars of the item itself. I believe that knowing more about that artist, his/her concept and process makes a stronger affinity with their brand and you find a greater value in your selection.

It is time to feature another “Simple Man”, and I decided to feature one of our favorite customers. Kurt is one that has supported us from the beginning and he totally gets what I had as a primary vision for this store – to create a space where you can just come and hang out. Kurt walks in, sits in the leather chair, and we can talk for hours. 

I believe and have for a long time, that in this world, we hold more similarities among us than differences. Our differences make us grow, learn, and expand in ideas/understanding of each other, but our similarities start the conversation and help us connect to get to that good stuff.
