ORIGIN & DOCTRINE
NO EXCUSES.
NO SHORTCUTS.
GROUND ZERO
Aspinwall was initiated in June 2014 out of a garage in Billings, MT with a hundred-dollar bill and an uncompromising desire to build premium gear. The love for making equipment that simply does not fail is what motivated the team to press through the grueling early days of growing a brand.

INTEGRITY
We don't farm out quality control. Aspinwall continues to produce high-quality embellishments—including screen printing, embroidery, and sewing—in-house. Bringing production elements under our own roof in Montana ensures that we can stand over the quality of every single garment we deploy. Alongside in-house production, the Aspinwall team is constantly designing, sampling, and building new technical bowhunting equipment.

FOUNDER / CEO
DEREK ASPINWALL
An avid outdoor enthusiast, mountain athlete, and father of four, Derek originated Aspinwall to fuse his deep roots in the backcountry with an obsession for building superior equipment. He drives the architectural design of the brand—from technical R&D sampling to ensuring every product meets the zero-failure standard.
"My wife, Lucy, and I spend ample time in the outdoors bowhunting, fishing, skiing, and hiking. The gear we make is the gear we rely on."
CFO / CO-OWNER
LUCY ASPINWALL
Lucy brings financial discipline to backcountry grit. With a degree in finance from Creighton University and roots running deep in Billings, MT (Senior High Class of ’03), she oversees operations and financial strategy while managing the chaotic schedule of raising four future mountain athletes.
"I was a stay-at-home mom for 5 years until the Aspinwall adventure began. I love to bowhunt, camp, and unplug with my family in the mountains."
