Every Spartan™

I've been fortunate to meet lots of celebs/famous people in my life. Ernie sits at #1 as the classiest of them all. That isn't hyperbole, it's a fact. I love you friend and congratulations on turning the page... #loveyoutoo

🚨 A HUGE MILESTONE FOR EVERY COLLEGIATE™ 🚨 Our first official university press release outside of Michigan State is LIVE! 🖤💛🐯 Towson University has officially announced its partnership with @everycollegiate™ and seeing another university publicly share our story, our mission, and what we're building is an incredible moment. 🔗 READ THE FULL TOWSON UNIVERSITY STORY: towson.edu/news/articles/202… What started with @everyspartan™ at MSU is growing beyond one campus. One school at a time. One community at a time. One step closer to making traditional + adaptive collegiate apparel together the standard, not the exception. This was never just about apparel. It's about belonging. It's about representation. It's about making sure every fan has the opportunity to wear their school colors and be part of the traditions and experiences that make college communities special. Thank you to @TowsonU and @TowsonUNews for believing in this mission and helping us take another huge step forward. 🐯 Every Ability. Every Moment. Every Tiger. And we're just getting started. Every Ability. Every Moment. Every School.™ #EveryCollegiate #EveryTiger #TowsonUniversity #AdaptiveApparel #Accessibility #InclusiveFashion #CollegeApparel #EverybodyBelongs #BuiltDifferent

🏫 STATE OF MICHIGAN COLLEGE PARENTS, I NEED YOUR HELP! Do you have a son, daughter, or know somebody attending one of these Michigan colleges or universities? 🎓 Alma College 🎓 Aquinas College 🎓 Calvin University 🎓 Lake Superior State University 🎓 Madonna University 🎓 Michigan Technological University 🎓 Northern Michigan University 🎓 Northwood University 🎓 Oakland University 🎓 Saginaw Valley State University Every Collegiate Apparel™ continues to grow, and I’m exploring which smaller Michigan schools I might bring the brand to next. I’m specifically looking to connect with students who may be interested in compensated campus ambassador opportunities with @EveryCollegiate Apparel I’m not looking for university administrators or official school contacts. I’m looking for students who love their school, are active on campus or social media, and would be excited about helping introduce a growing, mission-driven collegiate apparel brand to their campus community. These ambassador positions are compensated opportunities and would give students a chance to help build a presence at their school from the ground up. If your son, daughter, friend, relative, neighbor, or anyone you know, attends one of these schools and might be a great fit, please tag them below or send me a message! And please share this post. A simple connection could help determine which Michigan campus ECA expands to next. Every Ability. Every Moment. Every School.

I think people sometimes misunderstand resilience. They picture someone going through something incredibly difficult, overcoming it, and everything eventually returning to normal. My experience has been different. Sometimes there isn't a return to the old normal. Sometimes resilience means accepting that life has changed and then figuring out how to build something meaningful within that new reality. That new reality first turned into @EverySpartan and has now advanced to @EveryCollegiate everycollegiate.com

@everycollegiate Apparel WON THE HATCHING!!! 🏆 I’m still trying to process this. Tonight, I went into The Hatching as one of five finalists. I had 3 minutes to tell the story. Three minutes to explain why I believe college apparel can, and should, be more inclusive. Three minutes to share the vision for Every Collegiate Apparel™: bringing traditional and adaptive collegiate apparel together under ONE brand, so fans of every ability can represent the schools they love. Two slides in, my presentation malfunctioned and another finalists slides came up instead. But I still went forward and completed my presentation. Sort of the story of my life...never give up! And tonight… THAT MISSION WON! 🥇 FIRST PLACE. 💰 $10,000. But what means the most to me isn't just winning the competition. It's what this win says about the idea. People heard the vision. They understood why it matters. And they believed in it. Every Collegiate Apparel started with the belief that inclusion shouldn't be a separate section, a special collection, or an afterthought. It should simply be part of how we do things. Tonight, that belief took one BIG step forward. To everyone who has encouraged me, made an introduction, answered an email, taken a meeting, shared an idea, opened a door, worn one of my designs, or simply told me to keep going, thank you. And to everyone who came out tonight and cheered me on: hearing that support from the audience meant more than you know. 💚 We're just getting started. There are more schools to reach. More partnerships to build. More barriers to break. And now I've got 10,000 more reasons to keep pushing forward. 🚀 🏆 THE HATCHING 2026, FIRST PLACE WINNER Every Collegiate Apparel™ everycollegiate.com Traditional + Adaptive. Together. Every Ability. Every Moment. Every School. ♿🎓 #EveryCollegiateApparel #TheHatching #FirstPlace #InclusiveApparel #AdaptiveApparel #DisabilityInclusion #Entrepreneurship #SmallBusiness #WeWon

And now it all comes down to those 3 minutes. I’d LOVE to have some familiar faces in the room cheering me on! 📅 Thursday, October 8 ⏰ Adult Division begins at 6:30 PM 🏆 Winner announced by 7:30 PM 📍 Hannah Community Center 819 Abbot Rd., East Lansing 🎟️ FREE ADMISSION Come hear the pitch.

I didn't just want clothes that worked. I wanted clothes that felt like ME. That's one of the ideas that eventually became @EverySpartan and now @EveryCollegiate Apparel. @MDAorg Quest Magazine recently told part of my story. Here, I'm going to tell you the parts that don't fit in an article. My story. My mission. My journey. tiktok.com/@every.collegiate…

This is me. The good, the bad, and everything in between. I’m going to tell you the stories that got me here while bringing you along as I build @EveryCollegiate in real time. I don’t know where this journey ends yet. But that’s the point. Join me! tiktok.com/@every.collegiate…

This one is personal. 💚 MDA Quest just published a feature about my journey, @mogerhardt and why I created @EveryCollegiate ™. I’ve spent my life living with muscular dystrophy. I know what it’s like to be a student, an alumnus, a sports fan and a consumer with a disability, and to realize that too often, inclusion still means being given a separate option. I want to change that. Not a separate collection. Not different designs. Not an afterthought. Same school. Same logos. Same pride. Same experience. Because people with disabilities are students and alumni. We are athletes. We are parents and professionals. We are consumers and fans. We are EVERYthing. Thank you to Rebecca Hume and @MDAorg Quest for sharing my story and the mission behind @EverySpartan & Every Collegiate Apparel™. From Every Spartan™ to what is becoming a nationwide collegiate movement and our next two partner schools @ASU & @TowsonU I'm just getting started! #EveryCollegiateApparel #AdaptiveApparel #DisabilityInclusion #CollegeApparel #AdaptiveFashion #EverySpartan #MuscularDystrophy #RepresentationMatters Every Ability.
