What do DJ Khaled, Manny Pacquiao, and Carmelo Anthony have in common? More money than you? Yes, that's correct. But not what we had in mind. What we had in mind was: they all have custom suits designed by Mr. Ton Chookhare. He’s a recovering management consultant, a business school buddy of Onnie’s, and - contrary to all evidence or reason - a  lifelong New York Knicks fan. 

More relevant to our purposes today, Ton is also the founder and CEO of Chookhare & Sons, a custom menswear company with showrooms across the country. It’s a safe bet he’d rather burn our combined wardrobes than be caught wearing any of it in public, but that didn’t stop him from sitting down with us to talk about starting his business, finding his passion, and fulfilling his grandfather's legacy. He also doles out some solid advice on what to do if/when you find yourself backstage with DJ Khaled and he starts asking you about your startup. Enjoy!
