Thanks to whoever unblocked me in here. Since our little Q&A things I said on Reddit are now being reposted to Facebook, I want to clear up one specific piece of the timeline with the actual messages from 2020. This is the actual context behind the infamous hat selfie from February 2020. (pretty wild a single picture can create such an interesting storyline. At the time (2020), we were not together exclusively and were both dating other people. These are some our actual texts from that period and should help clear up any confusion. I’m sharing them because the selfie with her wearing my hat is being used to tell a very different story about the state of our relationship and her involvement with “building” my business at the time and prior to our marriage.

For reference on the photos:

May 6 2020 my ex wife was in Moab paddle boarding and enjoying a romantic weekend with an another guy.

May 28 2020 she was in Moab with me for a romantic weekend flying on a helicopter (pretty cool way to see Moab by the way)

Enjoy. 🤟🏼

”I don’t even know who this chick was”

“It was all so well played.”

A lot of people in this thread have made up their minds about me, and that’s just fine. But I thought this perspective was interesting because it comes from Chase Fairfield, another familiar voice, someone who not only dated but lived with my soon to be ex wife shortly before I met her. This wasn’t a decade ago.

This fella was also accused of abuse and DV, had a PO against him (hers against me were unsuccessful) and police were also called on him repeatedly. False allegations about slashing their walls with a machete, and more. Some pretty wild stuff.

I’m not suggesting you to take his word over anyone else’s, I’m pointing out that every story has more than one perspective, and clearly there are many things most folks don’t know and haven’t been told. 

I have thousands of these screen shots over the last 10 years.

I have heard many times about supposed “scams” and “frauds” from this group. I’m curious if anyone in here would like to address this with factual evidence or proof of a scam or people being defrauded?

I know that this is an echo chamber of hatred towards me, but I’m also sure that most of you understand that if a restaurant cooked 53,000 steaks, probably be a handful of them would not be cooked right. Or a car dealer sells 53,000 cars, there’s gonna be some issues with a bunch of cars. Every product and every service at scale will disappoint someone along the way, that’s business 101

Scam artists and fraudsters go to jail and are investigated by 3 letter agencies. I’ve had plenty of unhappy customers over the last few decades which every business on the planet has some of those, and just like selling almost 1,000,000 garments with my apparel co. some orders get screwed up, wrong shirt sizing, orders inadvertently not sent out, sent to wrong address, damaged in delivery etc, and as I’ve done for 25 years, I remedy whatever issue there is to the best of my ability. The last 2 years were especially challenging due to my divorce (i went though a very challenging mental space and it was very difficult for me personally to handle it all) and when business slowed, we definitely had more shipping issues than normal, and I hated the print on demand model, but thankfully we’ve resolved those, my mental space is cleared, and now are back to growing.

I’d be happy to share thousands more testimonials but that might take a few dozen posts, so I’m open to clarifying any factual or evidence based info regarding alleged “scams” or “frauds”.

Question for you fine folks. 

1st photo is a woman named Katie who I dated for 7 years. I was with her when my first post went viral, and before LIONS NOT SHEEP was created. She and I were dating when I started LNS and made the first LNS tee shirt ever. She took a lot of photos in LNS gear over the years which were shared online, on social media, she also participated with me in events I did, coaching calls etc. 

2nd photo is a girl I briefly dated for a short time after katie and before I dated my Saxony.  she was an NBA cheerleader and model, did some modeling for LNS and many of her photos and videos were posted online and used in marketing LNS products. 

3rd photo is my soon to be ex wife. We were married for 3 years and she too did modeling with LNS and many of her photos were also used online and in marketing for LNS Products. She too participated with me in live events and coaching calls while we were married.   

To note, none of these women were ever employed by LNS Apparel. None of them had a position within the company, worked for the company in any official capacity, invested in the company, purchased apparel, ran an ad, created a marketing strategy, paid for ads, paid an employee, leased a warehouse, hired an employee, signed on a lease or a loan, built a landing page, built a sales funnel, purchased inventory, managed processes and systems, etc… they modeled apparel and participated with me in events and activities while being my partner

I’m curious. should all these woman receive equity and ownership in LNS because their images were used online and in marketing? Should they all receive equity because their image was used to generate sales? i’m very aware of the audience in this group and your collective distain for me, so I’m curious if anyone in here is interested in an actual logical and reasonable response to this. should every model (dozens of them) who posed in LNS apparel have claim to ownership in LNS Apparel because their images created attention or were used in marketing and sales efforts?

I obviously made a major mistake not getting a prenup and im clearly having to deal with that error now, but since I chose to answer my most passionate haters questions, I’m curious if you find folks care to share your insight?

Fire away.

This is the person who replied to my comment asking anyone who believes they’re owed money to identify themselves.

I went back through our entire text history since 2020. Here it is.

Not once is there a text, call, email, or message asking about an unpaid invoice or saying I owed him money. In fact, our conversations were friendly, and I believed we had a good relationship. I recently reached out to him to cater the business and bullets event at my ranch, no mention of anything owed then either, and only here it was mentioned.

If I legitimately owe someone money, I want to make it right. That’s exactly why I asked people to come forward. But making a public accusation six years later, without ever raising it privately once, is interesting

If there’s actually an outstanding invoice, send it to me. I’ll gladly review it.

A number of questions regarding why my divorce is taking so long (2.5 years and counting)

My ex wife filed for divorce, and unfortunately there was some mis information included in the divorce filing (above documents from said divorce filing)

Courts don’t know what is truth and what is not, and if a party is not amicable to resolution, or makes claims that must be substantiated, its costly and takes a long time. A forensic accountant firm was hired even though every bank statement, tax return, P&L and accounting for every one of my companies was provided, and that report has taken almost 12 months alone (should be done by Sept)

I have done everything possible to get the divorce settled so we can move on, asked for 2 years exactly what she wants, even publicly here in this forum with zero response.

A lot of questions regarding my apparel company, the success of it, who was “responsible“ for it, built it etc.

This accounting is directly from LNS apparel Shopify, and to be clear, the ”queen collection”, besides what we were already selling in queen products was launched Nov 2022 and accounted for single digit percentage of gross apparel sales.

My ex wife and I began officially dating in June 2020 and married Feb 2021, LNS Apparel did $3,077,000+ in revenue the year prior to our marriage.

A number of questions regarding WHO started the QUEEN COLLECTION, and WHEN the QUEEN COLLECTION for Lions Not Sheep Apparel began.

I started the QUEEN COLLECTION in 2017, and began selling QUEEN merchandise with Lions Not Sheep Apparel in 2017.

wasn’t expecting this question, but apparently my feet are of significant interest to y'all.
