About the man behind the brand: West Ford

As a Native of our Nation's Capital, I was born and raised in the District of Columbia. With so many diverse creative minds in such an eclectic city, I was influenced at a young age to learn, perfect and display my creative attributes. With inspiration all around me, I first began expressing my creativity through music; which I still have a strong passion for to this day. You can find some of my musical works and visuals on YouTube under the channel named FatWesttheEnt. I have always had a distinct taste for fashion, and it wasn't until the exceptional platform of Alive Shoes that I was able to truly see another passion of mines that burned just as bright, if not brighter. That passion was for designing creative, eye-catching, and comfortable shoes that can be worn by men and women all over the globe. At the age of 30, I have a 4-year old son, who is the light of my life, and I hope that Daddy's creativity sparks the same level of creativity, or greater, in him as he grows older.
