Dan and Rob are Whidbey Island residents who have teamed up to bring out of the shadows military crew patches. Rob is a 25 year Navy veteran, who flew with both VQ-1 and VQ-2. Dan is a very accomplished graphic artist who has run a successful business for the past 20 plus years. Dan already has a sticker business called “Borealis” and when asked by Rob to help create a military crew patch to zap business, Dan was all in! It is Rob’s vision to capture the very unique and often funny crew patches by having a website that will allow for the story to be told of how the patch got its origin and hopefully display a crew photo and allow for blogging by the military members themselves or by military enthusiasts. So in a way the website becomes a little bit of a nostalgia page as well. All customers have to do is take a photo of the patch with a cell phone and send it in and hopefully with the origin story and photo, but if they don’t have that we will still get it up on our site.
