An innate adventurer, Ryker One lives for new experiences and inherently takes risks with no fear or resistance to change. A peaceful thinker and speaker of truth, Ryker One aspires to inspire and always leads with unconditional love. 

 

Patrick Mochnaly created Ryker One through a variety of influences. A fashion executive, Patrick has twenty years of experience in buying, merchandising, design, development and marketing. He’s worked for multiple billion-dollar brands and has managed a fashion portfolio which collectively has generated over ten billion in retail sales. Through this experience, he realized that fashion is not always fun and wanted to create something that makes everyone feel good.  

 

Born in Pittsburgh, PA and now living in Los Angeles, CA, Patrick has always been career focused with a strong family foundation anchored in Italian heritage. Patrick’s family often likes to say “fun comes first” which is more important now more than ever. Patrick decided that the world needed something positive and fun. He wanted to create a gender neutral brand experience influenced by generation x, y, z and alpha's. All of which promote a core message of self-expression and just being “YOU!” 

 

 

Patrick is also proud to say that everyone featured in the photos is either a family member or a close friend. “The cause of the brand is very personal and I want there to be meaning behind not only the product but also the content.” 

 

Through various life obstacles, Patrick always knew the one thing that made him feel better was hanging with his family – especially after he became “UNCLE P.” With five nieces and nephews, Patrick’s biggest joy is them. “It’s a different type of love – different than parents, siblings, family or friends and through the last twelve years they have been my love.” When Ryker was born, Patrick remembers that instantly everyone said that he looks like you “I always heard he’s a mini you!” It wasn’t until Ryker was about two years old that Uncle P started to believe it. 

 

Ryker means “strength” and “strength” is Patrick’s safe word. Now at age nine Ryker is Patrick’s strength. “He is unlike any human. He is superhuman and inspired the name and concept of Ryker One. I think one of the most difficult things in life is just to be YOU and to be HAPPY whoever, whatever, however that is!” 

 

So now as Ryker writes - as we see - as you be - we say together 

 

“TODAY AND EVERY DAY REMEMBER TO ALWAYS – 

BE YOU | BE NOW | BE FUN | BE RYKER ONE”

LOVE, RYKER (AND UNCLE P)
