Who We Are
Our brand name, Far Our FC, was created intentionally and it’s meaning is two fold. The first meaning speaks to location as we are based in North Dakota, a far out place. The second meaning speaks to the slang word “far out” which means unique, awesome, or sick.
The vision statement for our brand lies within the double meaning of our brand name: “Even if you’re from a Far Out place, you can still do Far Out things.”
Our Name
We want want to help others break out of boxes they are put in based on their location or background and at the same time, show others that it’s possible to break out of those boxes through the brand. We understand the unique challenges people from far out places face in their dreams to excel in the creative world or footballing world, so we want to help others overcome those challenges through a variety of resources and inspiration. Tutorials, one-on-one coaching, networking, and collaborations are all means by which we want to help others make their dreams that much more tangible.
We believe that someone from Grand Forks, North Dakota can have the same creative prowess as someone from Paris. We believe that someone from Grand Forks, North Dakota can have the same footballing ability as someone from London. The challenges may be greater if you are from a far out place to get to the same heights as someone from a fashion or footballing hotbed, but we are here to help you and inspire you to overcome those challenges and barriers you might face.

The People Behind The Brand
Judah Negron - Far Out FC Co-Founder
Judah was born and raised in Minot, North Dakota. For work full-time, he is a Chi Alpha Campus Ministries pastor at the University of North Dakota and he intends to do that for as long as he can work. Judah loves Jesus and people; he values each personal connection he gets to make and hopes that people see the love of Christ through his life.
He has played soccer competitively since age 6 and played formally through college at the university he graduated from, the University of North Dakota. Now, Judah just loves to play pick-up and even coaches the UND Men’s Soccer Club. He also loves watching the beautiful game, collecting vintage football kits, and creating art centered around football.
His passion for art and creativity started from a very young age. Home videos, lego building, drawing, and writing stories were all constants in his childhood years. As Judah grew, he found that photography, videography, and illustrating were forms of art that he was particularly drawn to. Far Out is now a way he can express those art forms through a brand. Most aspects of the brand were completely done by Judah himself including the logo, branding, art direction, all photo editing, and all video editing. A large portion of photography and videography were also done by him.
Elisha Negron - Far Out FC Co-Founder
Elisha was also born and raised in Minot, North Dakota. He enjoys taking on new endeavors in life, traveling, and being creative. So when his brother came to him with the idea of starting a brand, of course he was on board. He currently works at Scheels as a cashier, loves talking with people and connecting with them intentionally. He also plays on his worship team at church and loves serving in that capacity.
Elisha did also play a few sports growing up, but soccer became the most important of them all. He played soccer all throughout his schooling years, and continues to find ways to play even now. He loves watching the beautiful game as well; Glory, glory, Man United!
Speaking of music, Elisha has enjoyed listening to and playing music ever since he was young. It started with piano lessons as a little kid, then saxophone, singing, guitar, bass, and more! His passion for music is his creative outlet most every day. He has been producing and recording his own musical works now for 5 years which finally led him to release his first single ever! He tries to draw inspiration from anywhere he visits and add it into his songs; There’s so much beauty on this earth and he wants to capture that essence.
