Guest Info:

Mortal Triumph, an apparel and lifestyle brand that aims to empower individuals through sacrifice and resilience. It is a military-inspired brand.

I want to provide a bit of background and my story of how this brand came to be. The inspiration started with my parents. My parents were Mexican immigrants who came here in search of better opportunities. I lost them at a young age; my mother when I was 10 and my father when I was 11. One of the major things I learned from them was that everything in life is earned through sacrifice.

They sacrificed everything so that we could have better opportunities. So after they died, I took that lesson everywhere. My work ethic became my power, and I took pride in the work that I did. Simply having an opportunity was an accomplishment.

This theme carried into college and ultimately led me to join the military as an EOD technician. I met some of the best people in the world during my military career. Lots of like-minded individuals who also believed in legacy and honor for a greater purpose. Some of them even gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives.

So when I decided to create Mortal Triumph: these became my values: legacy, sacrifice, and triumph. By honoring those who came before who paved the way, we have the privilege to sacrifice in the present and work towards victory. We all die at some point, so why not earn it by living up to our values?

Ultimately, Mortal Triumph is a brand about self-empowerment through these ideas. In every garment, there is a story of sacrifice and glory, and each individual has the sacrifices they make each day.
