Who We Are

Every great story begins with a spark. For Aviator Grit, that spark came in May 2023, born from one aviator’s unshakable belief that aviation is more than transportation, it’s calling, discipline, and a way of life.

Our founder grew up with the skies as both classroom and playground. With two undergrad degrees from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, a master’s in aviation education from Liberty University, a Commercial Pilot’s License, and a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) rating, his journey has been etched in the logbooks of training aircraft, in long days on the ramp, and in the silent discipline of cockpit checklists. These aren’t just credentials—they’re testaments to a life lived in pursuit of excellence above the clouds and a passion to pass on that knowledge to the next generation of aviators.

But Aviator Grit was never about just one pilot. It was built for the community of dreamers and doers who find meaning in the roar of an engine, the smell of avgas, and the steady climb toward blue skies. It’s for the student pilot fighting through crosswinds on final approach. For the mechanic whose hands bear the marks of dedication. For the airshow spectator who feels their heart race when a warbird thunders past. For the person on the ground who instinctively looks up when a contrail splits the horizon.

More Than Apparel—A Mission

Aviator Grit is not fashion for fashion’s sake. It’s gear with a story, a statement, and a purpose. Every design carries the DNA of aviation—its grit, grind, and glory. Just like pilots wearing their wings as symbols of training and triumph, Aviator Grit apparel is made to represent the courage it takes to chase altitude and the character it takes to endure the journey.

A Squadron of Believers

When you wear Aviator Grit, you’re not just putting on a shirt, you’re stepping into a squadron. A fellowship of aviators, enthusiasts, and everyday people who share the same truth: the sky is not the limit—it’s the beginning.

Aviator Grit was founded with a simple conviction: that the discipline, passion, and resilience of aviation should be carried everywhere, whether in the cockpit, the classroom, the hangar, or the streets. We are more than a brand. We are a reminder that life rewards those who keep climbing, even when the headwinds blow strong.

 Our Promise

Every piece of apparel we create is a tribute to aviation’s past and a salute to its future. It’s for those who know that in flight—and in life—grit makes the difference between giving up and going higher.

Because when you wear Aviator Grit, you don’t just wear clothing. You wear the story of aviation itself.
