Our Story

Founded in Central Florida, a unique journey began with a father-son duo, Dan and Michael. Michael, a bright and talented autistic student attending high school, was on the cusp of a new chapter—college life awaited in the coming Fall. Determined to embark on an exciting venture together, they decided to channel their creative energies into a business that would not only be fun but also make a statement.

The genesis of Shockwave Threads originated from the depths of their shared passion for the ocean. The idea was to create a brand that would send ripples through the world, making a bold and impactful statement. And so, Shockwave was born.

As a father, Dan saw the entrepreneurial journey not only as a business endeavor but also as a way to nurture and empower his son, Michael. Michael, a budding artist with a penchant for storytelling, had dreams that extended beyond the classroom. The concept behind Shockwave Threads was to provide a platform for Michael to showcase his creativity, starting with his own merchandise for his YouTube channel.

Michael's YouTube channel is a vibrant universe where he breathes life into his characters and weaves captivating stories. The ability to translate these imaginative worlds into wearable art became the cornerstone of Shockwave Threads. Each design, a testament to Michael's unique perspective and the limitless possibilities of creativity.

Beyond the personal endeavor, Shockwave Threads became a community-driven business. The duo envisioned a space where the local community could also bring their creative visions to life. The name Shockwave represents not only the power of their combined creativity but also the desire to create a ripple effect, impacting the lives of those around them.

The business isn't just about making clothes; it's about making a statement and fostering a sense of community. Shockwave Threads invites everyone, from Mt. Dora and beyond, to be a part of this creative journey. Whether it's Michael's animated characters coming to life on a tee or a custom design that reflects the uniqueness of an individual, Shockwave Threads is a canvas for self-expression.

So, as Michael prepares for college, Shockwave Threads stands as a testament to the power of creativity, collaboration, and the belief that every individual has a unique story to tell. Join us on this journey, and let's make waves together with Shockwave Threads—where creativity knows no bounds, and every design tells a story.
