About Us

My name is Heather. I have been married to my husband Dustin since 2012, and we have two amazing kiddos together, Cashton and Jersey. 

Full time, I am a paralegal. I have a master's degree in criminal justice, which has always been a passion of mine. I am also a reserve police officer. Dustin is a veteran of the Coast Guard and is now a project manager for a local pallet building warehouse.

The name Titan Tees comes from my beloved blue-eyed, white pit bull that I rescued when I was in high school. When I got him as a tiny puppy, he was almost feral, biting and growling at everything and everyone who came near him. There were times in the beginning when I thought I would never be able to keep him due to his aggression. Once he was removed from the terrible environment he was living in, it didn't take long to show who he really was. Titan was the gentlest and most intuitive dog I have ever known. He knew when I was upset or angry, and he would comfort me in a way that only he knew how. One time, I was carrying in groceries and the gate to our fence was closed. I had my hands full and didn't want to put them all down to open the gate. Titan was standing on the other side, and I said to him, "open it." He looked at me, almost as if to say, "are you sure?" I repeated myself. He used his nose and opened the gate for me. As far as I know, he had never done this before, but apparently, he knew how to do it all along. This is just one example of how smart he was. He loved to chase a tennis ball and his absolute favorite thing was the Chuck It. We would find big open fields where he would chase that tennis ball all day long.

When Dustin and I met, he was stationed in Grand Isle, Louisiana. I made the decision to move there and, of course, Titan was coming with me. I had never ventured far from my small town, Oklahoma, until that point, and I quickly learned that people did not like pit bulls. To keep a long story short, on January 15, 2013, Titan was shot and killed by our neighbor in Louisiana. Devastation is too light of a word to describe how I felt and still feel over the loss of Titan. Still, as I'm writing this, tears come to my eyes when I think about that day. If you've never had a dog that you had this type of connection with, then maybe you won't understand. To me, Titan was more than a dog. He was literally my best friend. I know that sounds cliche, but it's true. 

And thus, Titan Tees was born.
