Founding of Orson Gygi
Orson H. Gygi, came from a long line of entrepreneurs. His father and grandfather were hardworking tailors and he learned early on the value of effort and hard work because he also knew what it meant to go without.
After 8th grade, he quit school to start working, and everything he made he contributed back to his parents and siblings. To show up every day, to hustle, and to work hard is one of his greatest legacies.
