History of Pump Daddy Concrete Life Apparel

We didn’t set out to build a brand — we just wanted Dad home for dinner

Pump Daddy Concrete started when we realized the only way to keep my husband local was to stop chasing prevailing wage jobs and start building something close to home. He first became a dad at 19, but when we started the business, he was in his late 30s, still working long hours out of town while we were raising two toddlers.

He’d worked with plenty of Concrete Contractors and saw a gap in the local market for concrete pumping services, so we said a Hail Mary, bought a concrete pump, and made it happen!

The name? That was his vibe from day one, lol. He doesn’t take life too seriously—but he takes hard work and his reputation on the job site very seriously. “Pump Daddy” felt like the perfect mix of funny, loyal, and unapologetically real—everything that represents the blue-collar concrete life.

He started handing out Pump Daddy hats and shirts to his favorite finishers and concrete crews right away, and folks couldn’t get enough! That’s when we realized we might have something bigger: not just a pumping business, but a full concrete lifestyle apparel brand (queue in Pump Daddy Concrete LIFE)!

Today, after almost three years, the timing feels right to offer Pump Daddy to all the concrete pumpers, contractors, tradesmen, and hardworking families who live this life too.

We press and package every Pump Daddy Concrete Life order ourselves and genuinely appreciate every single one.
