Birth of Crooked Halo
Meet the Founder of Crooked Halo Clothing: Eric Eckenberger
The idea for Crooked Halo Clothing was born when I was just 13. At that time, I was deeply passionate about snowboarding and envisioned creating my own snowboard company. However, due to financial challenges and the distractions of teenage life, that dream was put on hold.
In my twenties, a series of life-altering events took place, culminating in the amputation of my right leg and toes on my left foot after a failed attempt to jump onto a train. This experience was incredibly challenging both physically and mentally, but I remained resilient. My determination led me to become the first amputee to receive the "Amputee in the Ring" award from the National Boxing Hall of Fame in Montebello, California.
Fast forward to today, Crooked Halo has transformed into Crooked Halo Clothing, LLC. We create original designs, often featuring our distinctive Skull Logo. Our collections are ever-changing, with new pieces arriving as quickly as others are retired. This venture is my new source of adrenaline, and I am excited to share it with everyone.
