"At Poncho and Lefty’s, our mission is to create original goods that carry the weight of real-world experience. From the weld shop to the bar top, we transform a lifetime of grit and service into art and apparel for those who value authenticity and the journey of the underdog."

 Looking back at the "crazy stuff" that led me here is a wild feeling, but every mile has been worth it. I wanted to give you a glimpse into the person behind Poncho and Lefty’s.

Everything in this store has meaning. From the Drinking Shoes line to Welders Never Die, these designs weren't created in a vacuum—they were born from real life. Before this, I spent years under a welding hood and years behind a bar, but as far back as I can remember I have always been an artist.

Art is in my blood.

 My mother is a lifelong creative, and my father was a talented artist as well. When I was a kid, every day before school he would draw wild monsters on my paper lunch bags.  While my path took a detour through the Army—an experience that shaped the man I am today—I’ve finally come home to my first love. Poncho and Lefty’s is just a baby right now, but the plans are big. From original art to handmade leather goods, this is a place for the unique and the original. I’m anxious, optimistic, and so glad you’re here for the ride.
