About Daily Grind

The Daily Grind: More Than a Beard Company, A Brotherhood

At Daily Grind, we believe in rising up to face each day with courage and determination – for our families, our loved ones, and most importantly, for ourselves. Life is a series of battles, some we fight within ourselves, some in the world around us. Whether you're safeguarding hard-won victories or grappling with challenges that feel overwhelming, remember, you are never alone.

Founded in 2019 as a veteran-owned and operated business, Daily Grind stands tall in the heart of Texas. We offer more than just meticulously handcrafted grooming products; we provide tools to forge a personal routine that bolsters character and self-image. Our products are the bedrock of a daily ritual that empowers you to meet each day with confidence and strength.

Behind Daily Grind Beard Company are Ryan and Joseph – two men whose lifelong passion for helping others has manifested into a mission far greater than themselves. They have transformed this zeal into a thriving endeavor that not only elevates men to personal greatness but also fosters a spirit of camaraderie and collective success.

We understand that personal greatness begins with self-care. The way a man perceives himself lays the groundwork for building unshakeable confidence and a powerful inner drive. At Daily Grind, we're more than a brand; we're a community, a brotherhood that transcends the boundaries of beard grooming. Bearded or not, we stand together, each day, committed to supporting and uplifting each other under the banner of the Daily Grind. Join us in this journey and experience the power of unity and personal transformation.

The Daily Grind Beard Company Team

Joseph - Owner, Creator

 

Meet Joseph, the mastermind behind the Daily Grind product line, affectionately known as our brand's 'mad scientist.' With a fervent passion for business and a knack for innovation, Joseph thrives on creating solutions that enrich people's lives. An entrepreneur at heart, his artistic flair and inventive spirit drive him to dream big and embrace challenges. His ultimate goal? To illuminate and enhance the inherent value in each person he encounters.

Away from the hustle of entrepreneurship, Joseph cherishes time with his wife and their two beloved dogs. An avid reader, his interests span from the intricacies of business strategies to the imaginative realms of science fiction. He is also deeply fascinated by the evolving world of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence.

A fun fact about Joseph: He's not just a thinker and creator, but also a chess enthusiast with an impressive ranking of 1700!

His favorite quote, by Jim Rohn, encapsulates his ethos: “Success is something that you attract by the person you become.”

Daily Grind CEO Ryan

Ryan - Veteran Owner

This is our US Army veteran owner.  Ryan served in intelligence operations from 2004 - 2008, including a fifteen-month tour to Iraq attached to a Ranger unit.  He followed this up with a collective four years in Afghanistan from 2010 - 2014, this time supporting US and coalition forces as a civilian contractor, working two years with the US Marine Corps and two years with the Royal Marines and British Army.

Ryan has been working on the art of the beard since 2010.  Only a handful of people have been graced with seeing his naked face in the wild ever since.  Some unsubstantiated claims say while in the fragile shaven state his face was blurry similar to that of Sasquatch sightings.  

He is an investor in people, a problem solver, a dog rescuer, and what the boys back at Daily Grind HQ call “The Organizer.”  He is often known for attempting physical challenges many would pay not to do.  Ryan’s vision is to positively impact men showing them they are capable of much more than they know. 

Core Values: Courage, Integrity, Hard Work, and Community.  

While not on the Daily Grind Ryan enjoys being outdoors with his fiancé Stephanie and his rescue turned dog-child, Boomer.  Despite terrible delivery Ryan has an affinity for comedy.  If you had to distill him down to three things it would be: traveler, foodie and movie critic.

Fun Fact: Ryan has more nicknames for his dog than Baskin-Robbins has flavors of ice cream.

If you’re new to Daily Grind as a customer, you may have seen Alex’s face at a local market, corporate fundraising event or your own barbershop or salon, toting his briefcase full of balms, oils and creams. As brand ambassador he is responsible for interacting with new and established customers, fulfilling local product deliveries, covering markets and events as well as general community outreach for Daily Grind.


Alex is a local West Texas boy, with a deep pride for his state and country. His 9-5 Grind is in Oilfield Automation where he works hard to bring the West Texas Oil Patch into the 21st century, creating a safer, more efficient future for our Permian Basin. He is an animal lover and has probably asked if he can pet your dog if you’ve seen him at a market.
