About Duty Bound

Hi! I'm John.

I'm an Iraq Veteran living in the Midwestern US, and I'm proud to make meaningful gifts that honor our heroes.

As a veteran, I care a lot about the tradition, excellence, and dignity of our armed forces, and I want my work to reflect that.

I'm a direct descendant of veterans of the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, Civil War, World War I, Vietnam, and I myself am an Iraq veteran.

When I came home from war, I had a really hard time adjusting. So hard that I ended up hospitalized with PTSD. I spent almost half of 2011 in inpatient mental health treatment. By the grace of God, and through the care and expertise of doctors, nurses, and other medical staff, I've made a lot of progress, but it still affects me every day.

I started this shop so I can work from home, combining two things I love: graphic design and our nation's protectors. I have always been proud of our shared tradition of excellence and commitment to duty, and I hope my work reflects that.

Unique gifts say so much more than something you could buy off the shelf. That is why I specialize in custom orders.

Take a look around and I bet you'll find something you'll like - and if you notice I'm missing something, let me know and I can make it happen for you.  I'm always open to custom requests, so if you need anything you don't see here, contact me.

So, if you are a service member, veteran, or someone who loves one, thank you for the sacrifices you've made on behalf of me and my family. I know how high the cost is, and I'm grateful.
