Standing on Mt. Whitney, September 2008. (Rob is on the right, Dave on the left). We came up the west side to avoid the crowds coming up the main trail from Lone Pine. What a trip; two weeks in the Sierra Nevada and finishing with summiting the highest point in the lower 48. Life is good. (photo by Ryan McKee, who was kind enough to take the photo and email it to us later because we forgot to bring our cameras).
Like many others, we’ve had countless adventures, including touring by bicycle from San Diego to Vancouver, rowing down the Baja coast, motorcycling all across the Southwest, hiking the Sierra Nevada, bushwhacking through the Mojave Desert, and many other adventures both large and small.
Both of us are accomplished linguists, speaking American, Australian, English, Canadian, and some amount of Spanish.
Rob is the artist; Dave muddles through the technical side of things and writes the blog (using the super-secret name Green Man).
Both of us have spent way too much time in the corporate world—specifically the retail corporate world—where things are run just like that wonderful movie, Office Space.
And so we made a solemn vow to each other, with a blood oath and everything, that we would never run our own business the way the mega-behemoths run theirs. (The red stapler showing in all our videos is our reminder to us).
Now we have Green Man T-Shirts: a business dedicated to selling the most basic of clothes, something everybody can use, and using the business to give something back to the world.
Giving away 25% of the profits to environmental causes isn’t the way to get rich. But we hope, with your help and support, to make a small difference in the world. Heaven knows, it certainly needs it.
So look at our site, read the blog, watch the videos, and maybe buy some t-shirts. You buy them anyway, right? So buy them from us!
Best wishes,
Dave and Rob
