Armed with great inspiration around him, Holland graduated from high school and set off for college. He attended college for a semester in West Virginia and then left to join the Marine Corps in 1987. With fashion still on his mind, he had an extraordinary opportunity to be stationed in Korea where he was introduced to design and apparel manufacturing. He started designing and making suits, shirts, casual wear and even shoes. While in the Marine Corps his love and enthusiasm for design hit an all time high

After returning to the United States in 1989, he received strong raves and reviews about his newly designed custom pieces from his family and friends, and soon people started asking for M.T. Holland to design pieces for them. Soon after, Holland attended Huron University in South Dakota and received a Bachelors of Science in Secondary School Education and went on to receive his Masters of Science in Secondary School Administration. With a passion for helping inner city youth, he believed his goal in life was to become a high school principal to help kids achieve their greatest potential.

Today, he credits his high school dean of students as being one of the “sharpest dressers” he ever knew.
