Our story
Tampa born. Built by family. Made for the people who call the Bay home.
For the Bay Clothing Co. started in 2020 with a simple idea: create apparel that represents the pride, culture and lifestyle of Tampa Bay.
I grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, but Tampa Bay became home. It’s where Allison was born and raised, where we’ve built our life together, and where our six kids have grown up.
What started with a few T-shirts and an idea has grown into something bigger than we ever imagined. In 2024, we opened our first storefront in South Tampa, and in 2025, we reimagined our brand with a new identity that tells our family’s story - crossed swords representing Allison and I, surrounded by six palm leaves for our six children.
Today, For the Bay is about more than apparel. It’s about representing home.
From game days to days on the water and everything in between, we’re proud to create pieces inspired by the place we love and the people who make it special.
Thank you for supporting our family, our dream and this incredible community. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, but we truly feel we’re just getting started.
Made For the Bay. Built by Locals, Worn by Legends.
