What KOKMG Stands For and Why It Matters

People ask me from time to time what KOKMG actually stands for.

It’s King of Kings Manufacturing.

And yes, that is a direct reference to Christ.

The name wasn’t chosen to be provocative, clever, or symbolic in a vague way. It was chosen intentionally, and it means exactly what it says.

Why “King of Kings”

King of Kings is not a title I claim. It’s a truth I answer to.

It’s a reminder that Christ is the ultimate authority, not me, not the company, not the market. That belief shapes how I approach responsibility, leadership, and work.

If Christ is King, then humility matters. Honesty matters. Accountability matters.

You don’t cut corners. You don’t disguise problems. You don’t hide behind excuses. You take responsibility for your actions, your word, and the quality of what you put into the world.

That conviction is the foundation of KOKMG.

Faith and Work Are Not Separate

I don’t believe faith belongs only on Sundays, and work belongs the rest of the week. They are connected.

Manufacturing tests that belief every day. When timelines tighten, when supply chains break, when weather or equipment causes delays, that’s when character shows up.

King of Kings Manufacturing exists to do the work the right way, even when it’s inconvenient.

What that looks like in real life:
  • Telling the truth, even when it costs us
  • Standing behind what leaves our facility
  • Owning mistakes instead of explaining them away
  • Treating partners, employees, and customers with respect

Those are not business tactics. They are principles.

Why the Name Still Matters

I wanted a name that would hold us accountable long after trends fade and markets shift.

King of Kings Manufacturing is a constant reminder that we operate under a higher standard. Not perfection, accountability.

We measure success not only by output or growth, but by whether we conducted ourselves with integrity along the way.

Built to Serve, Built to Last

We work with brands who care deeply about what they put their name on. Brands who value consistency, honesty, and long term trust over shortcuts.

That alignment matters.

KOKMG exists to serve those brands with discipline, transparency, and respect for the responsibility we carry.

The name isn’t marketing.

It’s a declaration of who we answer to, and how we choose to operate.


What the Name Means to You

You may notice emails coming from @kokmg instead of @kdequestrian.com.

That’s intentional.

When you see @kokmg, you’re hearing from the manufacturing side of our work, the place where accountability, consistency, and responsibility live day to day. It’s the same people, the same standards, just a clearer signal of who’s speaking and why.

So if an email shows up from @kokmg, now you’ll know what it represents and the standard behind it.
