About Three Halos
About Three Halos
Ten years. That's how long I was overseas — Afghanistan, Kuwait, Bahrain — working as a government contractor. Ten years of leaving my three kids behind. Ten years of video calls on bad wifi. Ten years of missing their birthdays, school plays, first days, last days.
Six months away. A week home. Back out again.
Then the last four, five years — once a year. That's it.
I came back to the States in 2021. I thought coming home meant coming home. But there were no jobs where my kids were. So I went to Virginia — seven hours away. Better than Afghanistan. Not good enough.
Three years ago, I landed in Charleston. Closer. Still not there.
When the stimulus check came during Trump's first term, I was broke and broken. Divorced. Living with the weight of ten years I couldn't get back. So I did what you do when you're trying to rebuild — I started something.
Three Halos isn't a company first. It's an apology to my three kids. Three halos for three angels I missed growing up. A reminder that even when you're far away, even when you've lost everything, you can build something that means something.
But here's the thing: I'm not the only one who's been there. There are thousands of contractors, military, workers who've sacrificed years for their families — missed birthdays, missed everything. Who came home to nothing. Who are still trying to close the distance.
Three Halos is for them. For us.
We're building clothes that mean something. Clean design. Premium quality. Not because we're trying to be cool. Because we're trying to remember who we are when everything gets stripped away.
And we're building community around people who know what it means to sacrifice everything and still have to keep going.
If that's you — if you've been far away, if you've rebuilt from nothing, if you're still fighting to get home — this is your brand.
