This isn’t just a brand-it’s a battle cry.

For those who wear their scars like armor and wear their truth out loud.

Our Story

Survival of the Sickest was built for those who’ve been through it.  
The misfits, the fighters, the ones who’ve faced their darkest days and still showed up.  

Every piece we drop is a symbol—a badge earned in battle.  
This brand was born from the chaos, carved out of the struggle, and fueled by the fight to turn pain into purpose.

​

We don’t fake perfection here. We embrace scars.  
The mess. The fight. The survival.

​

Every stitch, every design, and every message we put out is for those who know what it means to battle your inner demons and come out stronger.  
Whether you're in the storm or clawing your way out, you belong here.

​

Our mission is simple: turn struggle into strength. 
To wear your fight. To own your truth. 
Because the real ones know… survival is the sickest flex of all.

Meet the Founder

I wasn’t supposed to make it here.

 

I dropped out in my second year of high school. Spent years stuck in cycles of addiction, self-destruction, and multiple convictions. I lived what some would call an institutionalized lifestyle, and for a long time, I believed that was all I’d ever be.

​

But life had other plans—and I chose to fight for them.

​

Today, I’m a father with full custody of my daughter, a college graduate with a 3.97 GPA, and the founder of a brand that stands for turning pain into power.
Survival of the Sickest was born from my battles with mental health, addiction, and everything that tried to break me.

​

This isn’t just apparel. It’s armor. It’s proof.
It’s the message I needed when I was lost—and now, it’s what I offer to anyone still fighting.

​

We do recover. We do rise.
And the struggle? That’s where the strength is born.

What We Stand For

  • Authenticity over perfection

We wear our truth, not a polished image. The scars are real—and they matter.

​

  • Resilience through struggle

Every setback is a setup for a stronger comeback. The pain built the foundation.

​

  • Mental health awareness

We fight the inner battles out loud. Because silence doesn’t heal.

​

  • Growth through adversity

The hard way taught us more than comfort ever could. We evolve through the fire.

​

  • Community over competition

We rise together. No egos, no gatekeeping—just real ones lifting real ones.
