Building A Business With The Buy One Give One Model
What do you do in your mid-fifties, faced with a career change and have been an entrepreneur for most of your professional life? You start a new on-line retail venture!
Born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and a Southern California resident for more than 40 years, J.D. Hornberger is living the dream of making a successful and rewarding life in the Golden State. MOCS USA is J.D.’s third business venture. J.D. is a salesman, merchant, and business owner. With an extensive and varied career in high end retail, J.D. is putting all of his experience into his new venture. Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would start an underwear company. Having a business that provides great apparel and gives back is the culmination of his dream. Husband of 31 years, father of 16 year old triplets plus an 11 year old and resident in the San Gabriel Valley, he is a blessed man.
For each shirt or shorts you purchase, a separate set of underwear is donated to a homeless shelter for their guests. To benefit those displayed from the workforce, MOCS is using a work center, Ability First, in Pasadena, California, that hires the mentally and physically challenged. By producing underwear apparel domestically, MOCS is creating jobs right here in the United States. Not only are you buying great underwear, but MOCS is able to do so much good for so many in need by your purchases!
