DRKSIED was born from a place of transformation and resilience. After proudly serving 15 years in the United States Army, I faced an unexpected and heartbreaking end to my flying career—a passion I held close to my heart. In the midst of that uncertainty, I turned to my second love: riding. While it’s not the same as maneuvering an 9-ton aircraft through the skies, riding became my way to reconnect with who I am outside of flying.
‍
DRKSIED embodies rebirth and adaptation. It’s a reflection of a moment in my life when I felt both deeply accomplished and profoundly lost. What started as an out-of-reach dream during one of my darkest times has grown into a motorcycle protective clothing and apparel company with a purpose that runs deep. Four years in the making, DRKSIED symbolizes stepping out of the shadows and rediscovering yourself, one ride at a time.

Welcome to the DRKSIED—a journey of strength, identity, and rebirth.
