About Us

Mavericks have always had an edgy, rebellious connotation to them. Originally referred to unbranded cattle that strayed from the herd, putting their ownership in doubt. Fast forward 100 years later...and it is used to describe a person who strays from and does not follow the thinking of a group he or she belongs to, or who rebels against accepted ideas or to a herd mentality. "Maverick" thus came to generally mean an individualistic and independent thinker.
