PROFILE: WILL HACKETT - A MODEL, ASPIRING DJ AND FOUNDER OF JCD

Our first profile features Will Hackett, the creator of Just Cool Dudes. At just 7 years old, Will envisioned building a brand called Just Cool Dudes where he could sell "cool items that dudes want." A simple idea and a great place to start and learn what it means to actually run a business.  For the Just Cool Dudes brand, the Tshirts sayings and designs as well as patterns on the swim shorts have either been the brainchild of Will or at the very least, approved by Will before going to print. We keep a running list of the ideas he has for shirts and work with a designer to create the ideas from scratch under our own brand and ideas. Just Cool Dudes is an original idea shop. 

Who is Will Hackett? Today at this writing, Will is an 8-year old, 3rd grader with interests including tennis, Fortnite, modeling and DJing. Under the name, Will DJ Dog, Will takes DJ lessons with DJ Cru (@djcru_) and loves mixing beats together. He became interested in DJing through Marshmellow and the SiriusXM station BPM. He's been taking lessons for over 2 years and loves the music! One day, he would love to be featured as a DJ for a Fortnite special event. 

Check out his hype video from his 6th Birthday.
