In 2019,
Our MVP of “ArcingAhead™️ Blue Collar Apparel Line” was critically injured on the job. 4,160 volts of electricity entered the top of his head and exited out of the back of his neck. A brain bleed, skull fracture, traumatic brain injury along with 3rd and 4th degree burns would bring John through nearly 30+ surgeries in less than 3 years. With the help of John’s wife Tiffany and motivati
on of his 2 young children John has made a miraculous recovery despite all of the obstacles. The mission here at ArcingAhead™️is not only to express our gratitude to our fellow blue collar families for all they do in our communities but also to inspire those suffering from work related injuries. This company is a reminder that life isn’t over if you can’t go back to the career you loved with a passion. John absolutely loved his manual labor job and his heart was broken knowing he would no longer be able to tolerate the south Florida daily heat. And due to his brain injury and skull deformity he has to be exceptionally careful in anything he does now. (watch our YouTube for more info)
His wife Tiffany originally created the ArcingAhead™️ name and business idea with the respect for what it takes to be a hard working blue collar human being in this world. With John’s new mental and physical limitations and Tiffany needing to be near John each day she created this idea that they would eventually be able to do this together as John still has many life long battles to overcome such as future surgeries and procedures. So as a family Tiffany thought this would be something fun for John to engage in between and as a family they could all work together and be able to continue this as their 2 children are growing. When john became injured Tiffany needed to be with him in the hospital and also be able to be with her 2 children as much as possible. A hotel was made available for her for the initial days and many more nights/weekends after that to follow for appointments and surgeries for John all over south Florida. Giving back to our community is something we love to do. 10% of all sales will be donated directly to Jackson Memorial's Ryder Trauma Center a level 1 hospital in Miami Florida where John received life saving intensive care, countless surgeries and rehabilitation services. Ryder Trauma Center over the years has become part of our unique family and our "home away from home". Donations to the hospital will help support their lifesaving doctors and those in need of medical help and support. We look forward to meeting every one of you and shaking your hard working hands! Shout out to all of "THE BACKBONE" blue collar wives, girlfriends, husbands, boyfriends, partners, children and families holding down the fort during your loved ones long hours at work and while away on the road! Blue Collar is "A BLOOD TYPE" and our blue collar working women are most definitely a "TRIPPLE THREAT". Check out arcingaheadapparel.com for these one of a kind labels and apparel!
