Most people in business will tell you to keep your friendships and business relationships separate. We choose to take the stance that if you can’t trust your closest friends, then who CAN you trust? We chose to name this hat after a guy that is a great friend, but also plays a valuable role in our business. Gary Beddingfield. We’ve had more “Caught Creekin” opportunities with this guy than most and he truly is a walking billboard for our company. He’s always dressed to a T and takes his fashion very seriously. Meticulously matched and always put together, and you’ll seldom see him wearing the same outfit twice. A great blend of flavors from Wall Street to Margaritaville, he’s always there to give whoever needs a little fashion advice an earful. He’s a great father, Husband, and role model for many. Never one to shy away from a local fundraiser, Gary supports our community in many different ways. From his woodworking/man cave/”just in case I get kicked out of the house” shop, to presiding as Judge in a neighboring city, Gary takes everything he does seriously and puts in the work necessary for his passion to be seen by all who come in contact with him. Never one to miss out on a good get-together by the pool, Gary takes his play time pretty seriously as well. From spending time perfecting his culinary skills on his RecTec grill, to his futile, yet fulfilling trips to the woods, he’s the guy to be around and is always welcoming us with open arms. We can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for us both personally and professionally.

Gary, for all these reasons and more, our hats off to you.
