The OneWayUp Story

I’m a Veteran of the U.S. Army Reserve and Texas Army National Guard. I've walked the cell blocks and rec yards of some of the hardest prisons in Texas. Spent two decades serving in law enforcement from the Texas State Prison System, to a Sheriff's Deputy, and finally retired as a Supervisor in the Texas Highway Patrol. I've spent my life in the service of others. I’ve seen good, bad, and the kind of darkness most people never experience. I’ve buried friends. I’ve survived betrayal. I’ve fought battles—internally and externally—that could’ve ended me.

And through everything, one truth stayed the same:

There is only One Way Up, and that’s through Jesus Christ.

This brand was born from that truth. These shirts, hoodies, and designs aren’t fashion pieces. They’re a message. They’re a reminder. They’re armor. They’re a way of saying without apology, “I know who I belong to. I know where my hope comes from. And I’m not afraid to show it.”

If you’re tired of hiding your faith…

If you’re tired of watering it down to make other people comfortable…

If you refuse to be silent about the only One who saved your life…

Then this brand is for you.

Wear it boldly.

Wear it proudly.

Wear it with purpose.

Because no matter what you’ve been through or what you’re facing—

There is only One Way Up.
