Stan Banks
T-Shirt Side Hustle
After starting multiple hustles growing up, Stan found his place in 2011 where he pursued apparel decoration full time. Having never worked a full time job, in 2016 he obtained a security job for $10 an hour with the sole purpose of securing health insurance for his daughter. This is where he realized that this was not a sustainable income for anyone to provide for themselves let alone a family. And because of this he decided he wanted to provide a valuable option for anyone who felt the same.

On January 3, 2017, he set out to teach people what allowed him to survive for the past 6 years, and T-Shirt Side Hustle was born.

Stan is now one of the top influencers in the t-shirt, apparel decorating and customization market in the United States.
