Bear, the driven CEO and founder of Bruce Bolt, Bear Mayer, established his company at the tender age of 16, spurred by a need for gas money and his father’s entrepreneurial encouragement. Frustrated by the short life span of baseball gloves, Bear envisioned a brand focused on durability, which came to fruition as Bruce Bolt. His perspective on “Bruce Bolt” is deeply personal and sentimental, as the name is a tribute to his grandfather who played various sports and had a significant influence on his life. The brand encapsulates not only his passion for sports but also a piece of personal history, turning the name into a powerful symbol of love and commitment to quality and longevity in products, an ethos clearly demonstrated in the high demand for the Max Clark editions.
