Thank you Scott Chastain for an interesting presentation on extremely short notice! Scott is an entrepreneur and resident of Thomasville.
Everfan
In 2011, Scott had an idea. It was a somewhat unusual idea, that centered around fandom, superhero capes, and Auburn University. After 8 months of trial and error and mastering the labyrinth of collegiate licensing regulations, Everfan launched with a superhero kit that included a cape, eyemask, power bands, and shirt for 5 universities.
Fast forward a few years and Everfan started getting requests for custom designs and bulk orders. With new opportunities to work with large companies like MTV and Chick-fil-A, as well as build partnerships with nonprofits such as Heart Heroes, CASA, and Love Your Melon, Everfan began to evolve. Scott saw the power within his products and the demand from a different audience for customizable Everfan gear. Today, Everfan specializes in a host of playful and customizable products that engage people of all ages!
