I Heard It Through the Grapevine
At an impressionable age, I worked with Max at Patagonia on Manhattan's UWS. In need of a grown-up computer bag, he pointed me towards his "might as well have the best" Filson briefcase. He was also the first person to notice my birthday present (ed. note: with palatable envy), a pair of whole-cut yearling leather R.M. Williams boots. Never one to chase what's new, Max comes armed with a genuine eye for what's worth your time and what isn't. His stories, recommendations and collaborations carry a quiet integrity. If Max is behind it, there's a reason. ~ David Maher, Sr. Leader, Biscuits & Bath
Max is one of those people who makes an impact without trying too hard. He’s creative, thoughtful, and always genuine. His work reflects who he is: authentic, curious, and built around real connection. ~ Larry Felitto, Area Sales Manager, James Hardie
Max’s work is both a vision into the past and a vision of what could be. Like an archivist would, he carries as many important points he can fit into the journey while forging a path forward. It is always something meaningful, something with intent. Never self important. Always with a sense of humor. ~ Alexander Maier, Super Danger Studios
