Tim Barry, the founder of My Michigan Roots, started the art of screen printing for family and friends, sharing his love of Michigan through his flagship logo. It didn’t take long for Tim to see that others shared in his deeply rooted love of Michigan. Over the years, My Michigan Roots has grown into a lifestyle that fosters the pure splendor that Michigan has to offer. When Tim isn’t producing high-quality apparel in their Elk Rapids facility, you can find him enjoying one of his many passions, including kiteboarding, kayaking, rock hunting, flying a powered paraglider (PPG), and cruising around on his Onewheel. Tim is also a USPPA Certified PPG Instructor, offering foot launch, tandem and trike training through his company Vagabond PPG. If you see him out there, be sure to come say “Hi”!
