BUILT BY FREEDOMĀ®
My name is Pete Roberts. I watched my community get stripped of purpose in the late 90s when the jobs and machines were sent oversees. Mills and factories that were once vibrant, now abandoned. I decided to do something about it, and 10 years ago built a small timber frame factory in the woods of Maine. A generator, a sewing machine, an old loom and the naive idea that politicians and the global elites have been feeding us lies and propaganda about American manufacturing being dead. Some call me a thought leader, I call it a crime of passion. As the CEO of ORIGIN, I've made more tuition payments than I can count because they don't teach you this shit in school. I started with nothing but an American Dream. A college dropout, no capital, a young family, and a fighter's mind. Now I manage a nine figure business, and lead over 500 employees across three states. We will build America's next big brand without compromise in the USA. This is my journey.
