Stuart started Vacord in 2006 in a laundry room in West Philadelphia, originally to make tshirts for his band. Hailing from Tennessee, Stuart loves to travel, fly hot air balloons and eat cheeseburgers. Some would say Stuart likes to eat cheeseburgers more than Nick, though Nick would say pointedly that it is not so. Stuart now focuses on the overall growth of Vacord.
