Behind the Soap

 First off, thank you for checking out our website and wanting to learn more about us!

I'm a visionary, problem solver, and the guy behind MAN SOAP (aka: the Mad Scientist). I've always been hands-on and curious by nature, but my journey to soap-making started out of necessity, For years, I struggled with sensitive skin issues and bad reactions to over-the-counter body washes. In my mid-20s, I was diagnosed with "dermatographia" — a condition that only seemed to get worse over time.

Tired of dealing with breakouts after every shower, I set out to make my own soap back in 2016. After many trial batches, I finally landed on a formula that worked — no more reactions; just clean, healthy skin.
 
I started sharing it with friends and family, and their positive feedback was overwhelming. Even strangers who tried it loved it. That’s when I knew it was time to turn my discovery into a business and launch MANLIEST STUFF.

 

I met Ryan in 2006 while he was installing an airbag system and C-notching on our now father-in-law's truck. Our wives are sisters, and from day one, we've had an unshakable, organic bond. Over time, I knew it was time to MAN up and help my brother take MANLIEST STUFF further.

I've been in the trades since 2010, joining IBEW Local 332 in 2013. I have a beautiful wife and three amazing kids who inspire me daily. The soap we make isn't just a product — it's a lifestyle. It's turned my kids into confident salespeople and brought our whole family into the mission.

I believe everyone deserves the chance to succeed or fail, and I'm the guy who rides until the wheels fall off, then pushes. In an emergency, I don't ask how or when..I just ask, "whose car are we taking?"
