Chris grew up just 30 minutes south of Purdue in Crawfordsville, IN. He started wrestling and playing baseball and football at just four years old. He went on to play baseball at Vincennes University. Don't tell the local Boilermakers, but he ended up finishing his schooling at Indiana University where he studied media advertising. Growing up he was a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan, and still sets out to make it to at least one series every year. Chris is coming up on his one year mark here at UGP!
He spends the majority of his spare time with his two dogs Nala and Cudi. Chris has had trouble letting go of the child's game, and still plays competitive baseball in a men's league here in Indiana. He also enjoys making music and attending concerts as often as possible. In the summer, you can find him camping or kayaking down the creek.
The one thing we love even more than our great customers is our incredible staff who help them get the custom apparel they need! We're giving our store managers the opportunity to share some of their favorite custom apparel options in a series we call 'What's in My Closet'! You can create your own custom printed apparel using any of these apparel options you see with UGP! This week's featured manager is the store manager of our West Lafayette, Indiana location, Chris Minks!
I am not a big fan of loose fitting t-shirts or shirts that are much too tight, and this shirt provides the perfect fit for a night out or hitting the gym. The Next Level CVC is available in vibrant fun colors as well as more dulled colors, so it provides an option for any occasion. The softness and comfort of the shirt is unmatched.
New Era Triblend Fleece 1/4 Zip Pullover
This pullover has a soft, warm feel and a vintage look. It's the perfect product to help keep warm during those fall football games or early spring baseball games. It's athletic and classy all at the same time.
Bella Canvas Unisex Jersey Longsleeve Hoodie T-Shirt
This fashionable lightweight hoodie is one of my favorites! It gives you the hoodie look without all of the bulkiness. It is the perfect fall weather type of shirt. Plus, I think it makes me look cooler than I really am!
J. America Tailgate Hooded Sweatshirt
At first glance, this may just look like any ordinary sweatshirt, but take a closer look! This sweatshirt is anything but ordinary, and probably will end up being your best friend during the tailgating season. Not only is this sweatshirt extremely soft and comfortable, but it also has an insulated beverage pouch built directly into the front pocket of the sweatshirt! That's right. It has a built-in koozie! Not only that, it also has a bottle opener attached right to the sweatshirt! Don't worry, it is easily removable for when the sweatshirt needs to be washed. Although, if your team keeps winning, should you really wash the sweatshirt?
