Our Roots

Tree & Leaf Clothing was originally formed in the fall of 2005. It was several months, and many meetings before the company was officially up and running in the summer of 2006. Completely started and managed by three young entrepreneurs, Tree & Leaf is the product of hard work, sacrifice, and big dreams. Built not just as another screen printing business, Tree & Leaf is a full design studio with its own line of screen printed apparel which appears in retail locations. Hard work and dedication have kept the company doors open and the friendly and fun atmosphere has kept the customers coming.

The Guys of Tree & Leaf

John Milner – Director of Harassment and
Media Relations

John Milner

John has an overwhelming appetite for adventure often finding himself in the most daring of situations (bear wrestling, no-rope bungee jumping, and fire juggling to name a few.) He currently holds the record as winner of the 2008 Winter Clapping Competition and generously donated his winnings to the No Handed Children Foundation. When not at his desk he is most often found sailing away on the mighty Oklahoma seas. Email John

Bryson Panas – Child Processing and Shipping

Bryson Panas

Jamaican by blood and Rastafarian by faith, Bryson is the pinnacle of perfection when it comes to penny drops from the monkey bars. His favorite crayon color is Macaroni and Cheese which just so happens to be his favorite food. Bryson is an avid collector of rare parakeets, and his favorite is named Shamoo (after the famous whale.)

Dusty Gilpin – Submarine Mechanic and Retrospective Engineer

Dusty Gilpin

This young fellow is the youngest fellow of the four fellows. Although never completing grade school, he has become a leading expert in mathematics. His name derives from a Chezchoslovakian saying, "The dust from the ground is causing the cat to sneeze." His free time is mostly entertained with replicating medieval tapestries and practicing the ukulele. Email Dusty

Kaleb Nimz – Overseas Communications and Regional Broadcasting Coordinator

Kaleb Nims

Straight from the rolling hills of Ireland; this ginger is tall, freckled, and currently carrying the title as 'World's Best Dad!' Kaleb (or Kay-Kay for short) is currently enrolled at three universities attempting to acquire his Bachelors, Masters, and Doctrine at the same time. He loves Oklahoma, but he'll never forget the beautiful mermaids and unicorns from the old country. Kaleb was rescued from the Irish slave trade and now works at Tree & Leaf for fifty cents
