About

 

In 2013 an idea popped in my mind: a leather bow tie.  So I pitched the idea to my dad, given as he's worked in leather for years. He liked it, but didn't think it was for him. I thought about it often, but never acted upon it, largely because I didn't know anything about leather or how to make anything.

In August of 2015 my wife and I awaited the arrival of our third child. After Maxwell arrived we knew life was going to drastically change. Max came to us with Down Syndrome, and just six months into his life he needed open heart surgery. Needless to say, all of this changed the "normal rhythms" of life for our family.

I couldn't stop thinking of the needs of my family, as well as leather bow ties.  One day I went to get a cup of coffee.  It just so happened the sleeve around my cup had an image on it: a bow tie.  This was the the blossoming of the idea, into action.   So with the hope that I could pay down medical bills, by working from home so I could be available to my family, Madison Street Leather was born. 

Max is growing up into an awesome young man.  We are so proud of him for all his achievements and the way he inspires people all the time, including his own father. We appreciate your support for our family all along this journey.
