About Us

Well hello! Brooks family here. We're the ones signing all those receipts to say "Thank You!" every time you support us!

That gentleman on the right in the white shirt, that's me, Kyle. I somehow got blessed with all those tiny humans around me thanks to my fantastic wife, Sara. Without them, none of this would be possible. I have always had the dream to start a company that will ultimately make a difference in the world, Sara believed I could achieve this dream.

Drago is that company.

Who am I? Since 2001, I have been working in the jewelry industry, slinging diamonds and wedding bands to make a living from a family owned and operated jewelry store in Columbia, MD. My start in design and CAD work began back in 2012 which is still shocking to me as I type this out. My first design of a DRAGO concept was in 2016 when I got married. I desired a wide wedding band that was comfortable, but in rare earth metals. Only I could not source Valyrian Steel quite yet, so I would need to settle with platinum and gold.

The only "comfort fit" ring at the time held heat and moisture, causing irritation. This fun itchy feature is a leading cause of husbands sleeping on the couch for losing their wedding bands. Needless to say my first prototype was horrible, but looks incredible, so I of course still wear it on occasion.

Fast forward to 2020, I have the design perfected with an extremely comfortable, breathable, intelligent design that even allows for fluctuations in finger size. The current design aesthetic is inspired by a dragon's scales, symbolizing strength, wisdom, and the ability to embrace a little bit of chaos.

After a quick discussion with the most wholesome of nurses, I get the brilliant idea to take this breathable design I have been tinkering with for years, and turn it into a silicone wedding band for fitness enthusiasts, frontline workers, or anyone who wants to help us fight the war on cancer. That being said, 20% of the proceeds go directly toward the research and innovation of cancer treatments. Special thank you to UMMC for taking us under your wing to make this dream a reality.

Cheers,

Kyle Brooks
