About Us

The Story Behind OFB Hat Co.

OFB Hat Co. isn’t just a business—it’s a family venture built on hard work, creativity, and a whole lot of love. Founded by Johnnie and Stan, a husband-and-wife team with a passion for craftsmanship, our company has grown from a small hobby into a thriving business known for quality custom work.

Our journey started in 2015 when we picked up sandblasting as a side project to stay busy. That led to powder coating, which eventually turned into laser engraving. What began with one laser quickly turned into three, and in 2017, we officially launched our business. From selling on Etsy to setting up at craft shows in 2019 and launching our own website in 2020, we’ve worked hard to build a brand that stands for precision, durability, and unique designs.

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with some incredible businesses, including ExxonMobil, Texas Department of Emergency Management, Ancira Salsa, and many more. Each project is an opportunity for us to deliver something special, and we take great pride in bringing our customers’ ideas to life.

Meet the Team

Stan – Owner & "Maintenance Monkey"

A Taylor, TX native and proud Navy Reserve SeaBee veteran, Stan has spent over 30 years in construction and holds a degree from the University of Houston (Go Cougars!). While he may call himself the "Maintenance Monkey," Johnnie makes sure he doesn’t mess with the lasers. Instead, he focuses on keeping things running smoothly and teaching their youngest son, Bradley, how to weld.

Johnnie – Operator, Designer & The Real Boss

Born and raised in Houston, Johnnie moved to Austin in 1993 and found her way to Taylor in 2008. She spent 10 years in construction and another 10 at the USPS before an injury led her to retire. Being self-employed has been a blessing, allowing her to be there for her kids, especially Bradley, whose Autism and ADHD diagnosis required extra time and attention. Thanks to her dedication, he’s now excelling in school and holding the top spot in his class. When she’s not working on custom designs, Johnnie enjoys spending time with her chickens, goats, and ducks—with dreams of adding donkeys and cows to the mix.

Bradley – Employee & Salesman Extraordinaire

A freshman at Thorndale High School, Bradley is not just the future of OFB Hat Co.—he’s already an integral part of it. He’s been helping run the lasers since 2021 and thrives as a salesman at craft shows and fairs. When he’s not working, he’s busy with football, basketball, FFA, UIL competitions, and showing livestock at the Rockdale Fair & Rodeo. With aspirations to attend the Air Force Academy or Texas A&M, his future is as bright as his dedication to the family business.
