Hey there — I’m Drew Hodges, the owner of Apex Mountain Apparel. I launched this business in January 2025 with one goal in mind: to chase something bigger than myself.

Before this, I was like most people — working a steady 7-to-6 job, living for the weekend, and wondering what more life could offer. Then an opportunity landed in my lap, and I ran with it. I turned my passion into a purpose, and Apex Mountain Apparel was born.

Why Apex Mountain Apparel? When it came time to name the company, my team and I knew we wanted something that reflected both our values and our roots. My family lives on Cahas Mountain in Boones Mill, Virginia — and that’s still where we're set up today. The mountain isn’t just part of our name; it’s part of who we are. “Apex” stands for reaching the peak — pushing yourself to go higher in everything you do. That’s the spirit behind our motto: "Reach Your Apex Potential."

This brand isn’t just about shirts or hoodies — it’s about people. It’s about the families, teams, businesses, and communities we serve. You’re the reason I love doing this every single day. I’m beyond grateful to work with some of the best people on Earth — our clients, our supporters, and the folks behind the scenes helping us grow.

At Apex, we bring that same mountain-minded work ethic and heart into every order. Whether you’re gearing up for a fundraiser, a team event, or a personal project — we’re here to help you look your best and feel like part of something bigger.
