Team Chizzled would like to thank all of you for visiting our site. We are dedicated to providing quality clothing for your active lifestyle.

Owner/President Shawn Beach (AKA The Beachman) grew up in rural Iowa in the small town of Wever. The family farm forged Shawn's work ethic and his "can do" attitude. Playing in team sports throughout school instilled a competitive edge that has never faded. That edge along with his Midwestern ethic has proven to be a volatile combination.

During the early years, on summer breaks Shawn's cousin, Ambrose Roland, would travel to their farm in Wever from Moline, Illinois where they "Chizzled" many fields during the hot Iowa summers. Work hard and play hard was the theme during those years. The summers spent on the farm, sweating it out during the day and dreaming of a life more comfortable at night, forged a bond of brotherhood that lasts to this day. (Special shout out to Shawn's brother Carl & Ambrose's brother Will. They were there too... much love).

After high school life took them separate ways. Ambrose joined the Army and Shawn headed south. Although, they remained in contact as family does.

Shawn continued competing & training in sports while carving out a living. Taking part in several body building competitions and jumping at the opportunity to train at the WCW Powerplant in Georgia. While undergoing the grueling program at the WCW Powerplant "The Beachman" brushed elbows and trained in the ring with some of the biggest names in Professional Wrestling. Relationships built in sweat & blood that last to this day. Afterwards, Shawn spent several years working and living in Florida where he dreamed and planned of having his own Logo and Brand Name strong enough to reflect his own dedication and will to succeed.

 Leaving the Quad Cities after graduating for the Army, Ambrose lived in Denver raising his family where he utilized his veteran's benefits to pursue an education. He earned his Bachelor's Degree while working around the clock to provide. The first of his family to graduate college, Ambrose moved back to the Mid-West after several years and started working for the Department of Defense as a contractor in the Information Technology field. After several deployments to the Middle East he was looking for a change.

 That is when the phone rang.

In 2008 Shawn created the Logo and formed the Chizzled Wear brand name. After reconnecting with Ambrose at his birthday party in Wever, Iowa Shawn decided to call and offer Ambrose the opportunity to join him and build Chizzled Wear. The timing could not have been better. Side by side, like the days of those long ago summers, Shawn and Ambrose are together again working, dreaming and Chizzling out the future.

Chizzled Wear was kicked off at the 2010 Mr. Olympia Expo in Las Vegas, a dream fulfilled for Shawn after years of physical training and body building. The Mr. Olympia Expo was the launching pad where Team Chizzled was met with enthusiasm and an apparent need for an active lifestyle apparel line that defines dedication and allows expression thru hard work and determination.

Shawn and Ambrose are dedicated to Chizzled Wear and to their customers. A great name for a great product. It could not have happened without the help of many, many individuals. Thanks go out to Christina and Leslie, the better halves' who without their love and support none of this would have happened. Johnny Rhoer for his friendship, loyalty and showing Shawn the ropes to body building. Chuck Palumbo of CP Kustoms (www.cpkustoms.com) and professional wrestling fame for his encouragement and providing Chizzled Wear a fantastic opportunity. Thanks go out to all of the WWE & TNA Guys for their incredible support and pushing Shawn to capitalize on his vision. Randy Smith who has done more than asked of him and continues to with only a promise. Darrin in Burlington, Iowa for his fine craftsmanship, attention to detail and strong belief and commitment. To their children, thanks for the drive to pursue this... it is for you that they sweat. Thanks to Shawn and Ambrose's folks for teaching them the value of hard work and the ability to treat the day with fairness and objectivity. A very special thank you goes out to Shawn's mother, Ambrose's aunt... Dolores Beach, who always sees the good and isn't afraid to say the right thing at the right time.  

Thanks for all of your support and believing in the dream.
