About Us

Hey. I'm Curt! Founder and CEO of EVIG. But this business wasn't always my dream. I knew from an early age that football would be my future. The first time I stepped onto the field, I fell in love with the game and saw my future. I had the size and the strength to take is all the way to college and beyond in the NFL. I played in college, but I suffered a career ending injury and it had me wondering what my future held. I didn't have a back up plan. Football was the only thing I wanted to do.

It would take me three months to learn how to walk again and another two years before I would feel normal again. My injury messed with my balance and it was pretty obvious that football was no longer an option. Football had been the plan for my whole life and when that went away, I had to find another path. I immediately turned to my Danish heritage to help me get back on track. 

It took some years and we had a few bumps in the road, but I eventually began working on the concept of EVIG – a clothing company for people like me; people who go all-in for their dreams and don’t stop until they’ve accomplished them. EVIG is a Viking word that means eternal. I grew up in a family steeped in Danish tradition and heard stories about the Viking and Norse culture from a young age. 

The Vikings had a firm belief in the eternal perspective and didn’t stop until their goal was accomplished. Many people think of Vikings as dangerous and bloodthirsty, which is 100% accurate, but it was their spiritual beliefs that helped them stay on track. The worst thing for a Viking wasn’t to die in battle, but to die of old age, never achieve that glory. A glorious death on the battlefield meant an eternity on Valhalla. Vikings went all in everything they did and I knew it was that kind of thinking that I wanted to share with people through EVIG.
