Welcome to Wes Whitlock.com

Wes Whitlock is a Texas-based entrepreneur who founded multiple successful businesses including Rogue American Apparel (2011) and Invader Coffee (2016). Based in Austin, he operates three businesses, maintains a storefront and gym (free for military, LEO, and veterans), and hosts the podcast "Going Rogue with Wes Whitlock."

His extensive international experience, working across countries including Spain, Yemen, Israel, Afghanistan, Iraq, Japan, Korea, South Africa, Italy, Netherlands, and Germany, has deeply influenced his business ventures. Italy, which he considers his second home, particularly inspired the creation of Invader Coffee. Starting Rogue American from his spare room while leaving a six-figure Executive Protection career, Whitlock built his businesses independently, without investors or partners.

Today, his brands reflect his diverse passions - from military service and fitness to automotive culture and entrepreneurship - while serving a community that values discipline, hard work, and forging their own path.
