My name is Johnny LeAir and this is the short story behind the motivation to create Von Rebel Apparel.
To keep it real and str8 to the point. Until I was paroled from the lovely California Department of Corrections in July of 2021, I was classified as a career criminal. A status I held for the better part of 30 years.
Like most individuals who found themselves locked away from society, alone in a prison cell, fighting the demons in our heads. I was no exception! Depression and self-worthlessness are huge factors that I can only blame myself for.
Through many mistakes and failed attempts to become a motivational factor in my journey in this life. I believe I’ve finally found my little niche that I can actually say I’m doing something other than what I’ve been known to do. (fistbump2self)
Moving forward… I have finally dedicated this little time I have left on this little blue spinning rock to promoting my original art and designs through this entrepreneurial endeavor called: Von Rebel Apparel.
The idea for the brand manifested itself years ago, sitting in a prison cell in Palm Hall, doing a parole violation. However, I didn’t have the drive or necessary tools to make it happen mainly because I was a very violent, self-centered individual with other things on my mind.
With the help of my dude, Steve Kinzey, we have created the dream that was and is now Von Rebel Apparel.
I hope you all take a seat and ride with us as we rock this ship, from side to side.
