Meet Dave: Founder & Craftsman
From Pinch, West Virginia to the hills and streams that still shape his days, Dave built Mountain Grown to carry faith, family, and makin memories outdoors into every bracelet.
Dave is a West Virginia native, born and raised in the Mountain State, and a proud father of five. For nearly 20 years, he has been handcrafting paracord bracelets for himself and for friends who kept asking for one more. What started as practical craft became something deeper: a way to hold onto the places and people that matter most.
For years, launching a public brand stayed on the back burner. Then the vision would not let go. What began as small ideas steadily grew into Mountain Grown™ — a story-first brand rooted in hard work, honest craftsmanship, and life outdoors.
Faith is the foundation of it all. Psalm 121:1 — "I lift up my eyes to the hills." Around here, the woods are not just scenery. They are where gratitude gets louder, perspective returns, and memories are made with intention.
"Get out there and make those memories, because in the end, that's all we really have."
Faith. Family. Friends. Makin' Memories Outdoors. Passin' It On.
The Moments That Built Mountain Grown
These are the everyday moments behind the brand, where gratitude, family, and the outdoors come together. This is the heart behind every bracelet and every collector card we send.
