THE FOUNDER

Mr. Reginald Bond, CEO

Mr. Reginald Bond, is the sole proprietor and owner of All Things Retro, LLC., President of All Things Retro Recreational Complex and co-founder of Retro Academy. Mr. Bond’s passion for design and creativity led him to start a Hip Hop Sportswear clothing line. Although he has a passion for the fashion industry, his first passion is youth development.



Mr. Bond grew up in The Ville, a historic African-American neighborhood located in North Saint Louis, MO. Growing up in The Ville, he witnessed how high rates of crime, violence, and lack of social economic resources can have an adverse impact on the growth and development of youth in the community. Mr. Bond attended Cardinal Ritter College Preparatory High School, where he excelled academically, and was a star athlete. After high school, he attended Lindenwood University. It was those educational opportunities that allowed him to establish a platform for future success personally and professionally.

Through All Things Retro, LLC., a youth foundation called R.E.T.R.O. (Really Excited To Reach Out) was created. The foundation is designed to provide an outlet for the youth to remain active through sports participation, community engagement, and direct access to positive roles models. Mr. Bond believes that key sectors of the community (family, schools, and community organizations/agencies) are pivotal in the success of youth development. All Things Retro Recreational Complex, The Retro Rebels and Retro Academy will be a STAPLE in the platform of success for youth development.
