Derrick Astle
Derrick Astle is President and Owner of Midwest Sportswear Workwear & Safety. He started the business in 1981 alongside his father and two brothers, building Midwest on a foundation of quality, service and strong relationships that continues more than 45 years later.
Derrick believes strongly in giving back, and community involvement remains one of the cornerstones of Midwest's values. That commitment is rooted in an appreciation for the incredible support Midwest has received from its customers and community throughout the years.
Before Midwest, Derrick was a commercial pilot and survived not one, but two plane crashes. After that, selling T-shirts probably seemed like the safer career choice.
