Founder Travis S. Weaver is originally from Zephyr, a small town in West Texas. He played 6-man football, chopped firewood, worked cattle, was a welder, hauled hay, and even worked on a turkey farm. “If you wanted a vehicle and school clothes, this is what you had to do. I'm proof that if you’re willing to make sacrifices, work hard, and pay your dues, you can make it in this world on your own.”
After leaving Zephyr, Travis pursued a degree in advertising, spent time traveling, and even lived with a family in Mexico where he learned to tool leather. “I see something and I get fixated. I start envisioning ways to make things better or more marketable.” Many of Manready’s products are preexisting, but marketed to women. “We twist them, we turn them, and we make them, well, Manready.”
