Kendal Netmaker Biography

Kendal Netmaker is one of Canada's leading entrepreneurs and speakers from Sweetgrass First Nation SK. He grew up in poverty raised by a hard-working single mother who cared for Kendal and his three siblings against the backdrop of a bleak economic landscape and few chances for improvement. But his life changed unexpectedly in fifth grade when he befriended a young boy from South Africa whose family provided the necessary funding for Kendal to take part in soccer. This opened up a whole other world for him that he would have never otherwise experienced. Two years later when the family was relocating they gave Kendal's family their car; it was a life-changing gift that helped his mother access all kinds of basic necessities that had previously been difficult – and meant that Kendal and his sisters could now take part in after school sports. The incredible generosity of his childhood friend's family inspired Kendal to give back when he launched his company Neechie Gear® – a lifestyle apparel brand that empowers youth through sports. A percentage of all Neechie Gear® profits go toward funding underprivileged youth to take part in sports.
While finishing two degrees from the University of Saskatchewan Kendal worked on growing the brand which was founded out of Kendal's small one-bedroom apartment. After graduation Kendal opened several stores and an official headquarters for the company in Saskatoon SK. The brand is now sold to consumers across North America through exclusive retail partners and online.
