My name is Bram, and today I am asking for help during the most difficult chapter of my life. Over the past several years, I have experienced devastating personal losses while serving others. During that time, while my focus was entirely on my family and loved ones, I was unaware that my business was allegedly being financially exploited. I later discovered that individuals I trusted had taken out unauthorized loans, opened fraudulent bank accounts, and diverted company assets, including approximately 30% of my company’s knife inventory. There is currently an active criminal investigation related to these events.

Unfortunately, regardless of the outcome of the case, it does not replace what has been lost or solve the financial crisis I now face. As a result of these events, I have fallen behind financially. I recently learned that my mortgage had been transferred to another lender and that my home is now in foreclosure. I have only days remaining before I risk losing the home I have worked so hard to build.

This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but I am asking for your help. Your donation will help me stop the foreclosure and keep my home, cover essential living expenses while I rebuild my business, recover from the financial losses caused by the alleged fraud, and continue producing my custom knives, prototypes, books, and training materials that have been my life’s work.

If you have ever supported my work, learned from me, purchased one of my creations, or simply believe in helping someone through an unimaginable hardship, I would be deeply grateful for your support. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others would mean just as much. Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for your kindness, your prayers, and your generosity during this incredibly difficult time. God bless, Bram
