Visionary. Tenacious. Compassionate. Growing up in the Los Angeles area, Michael was a child no one expected to succeed. He became all too familiar with many of the hardships that children in poverty face as at an early age he was abandoned by his parents and then endured many years of sexual and physical abuse. He found an escape in reading books and acquired a thirst for knowledge. For Michael, every book was a fascinating discovery or an epic adventure, which helped him overcome the struggles of his tumultuous upbringing. His strong work ethic and determination lead him to be the first one in his family to graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree and to play professional sports around the world, including with Cabo Verde’s Olympic basketball team.

Returning to his lifelong dream of helping children, Michael launched his collection in 2008. He is not your average street wear, lifestyle brand CEO. His company, the Blood Heart Group, was given birth by a single idea to revolutionize and redefine clothing by pioneering a fashion forward collection that encompasses his passions: helping others, education, and dedication to make a difference. With the Blood Heart Group, Michael seeks to educate inner-city children and motivate them to change their society and themselves. His campaign, “Buy A Heart, Give A Heart,” has donated over one thousand shirts to impoverished children across the nation.

Jeuel Howard

Operations Director

Phone: (818) 457-1713

As Operations Manager, Jeuel oversees finances, logistics and quality control for BHG. He brings to the Blood Heart Group ten years of customer service experience and eight years of marketing and operations at a successful escrow unit in a troubled real estate market. A California native, Jeuel was raised in a gang infested area of Compton, CA. Though he lived just two blocks away from local schools, Jeuel’s parents decided to send him across town, by school bus, to the San Fernando Valley from first through twelfth grades. This was an opportunity for Jeuel to gain a better education and avoid becoming a statistic like so many young men who grew up in Compton: in a gang, prison, or dead. Jeuel’s parents’ decision paid off. Upon graduating high school, Jeuel continued his education to achieve a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Los Angeles and a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix. Jeuel is an ardent believer in education and the idea that knowledge is the key to success. He believes that all children have a potential for greatness, but require the guidance, attention and opportunity to achieve it. Jeuel has the motivation, passion, and knowledge necessary to reach any goal and is determined to help the Blood Heart Group reach theirs.
