About Us
Built on Performance. Founded on Legacy.
Jansen Eyewear was co-founded by Olympic Gold Medalist Dan Jansen and former professional tennis player Simona Moore with a shared vision: to create premium eyewear that combines performance, purpose, and authenticity.
Coming from two different sports but sharing many of the same values, Dan and Simona understand firsthand the importance of focus, perseverance, preparation, and resilience. They believe eyewear should do more than simply protect your eyes—it should help people perform at their best while reflecting the values that define a meaningful life.
Together, they set out to build a brand inspired by a lifetime of competition, personal growth, and the belief that success is achieved through hard work, determination, and the courage to keep moving forward.
Today, Jansen Eyewear is dedicated to creating premium eyewear that delivers exceptional clarity, comfort, and protection while honoring the legacy and principles that inspired its creation.
Meet the Founders
Jansen Eyewear was founded by two former professional athletes who share a passion for performance, innovation, and building products that help people perform at their best.
Drawing from their experiences in elite sport, business leadership, and product development, Dan Jansen and Simona Moore created Jansen Eyewear to deliver premium eyewear designed for active lifestyles while honoring the values that inspire the brand.
Dan Jansen
Olympic Gold Medalist, World Champion, and one of the most respected figures in speed skating history, Dan Jansen's journey is a testament to perseverance and resilience.
After years of overcoming setbacks and personal tragedy, Dan achieved his lifelong dream by winning Olympic Gold and setting a world record at the 1994 Winter Olympics. His story continues to inspire athletes and individuals around the world.
Dan's commitment to excellence, integrity, and perseverance serves as a guiding force behind Jansen Eyewear. His passion for helping others reach their full potential continues to influence every aspect of the brand.
Simona Moore
Former professional tennis player, entrepreneur, and brand builder, Simona Moore has spent her career combining athletic experience with a passion for product development, innovation, and consumer brands.
Originally from Slovakia, Simona competed professionally on the international tennis circuit before earning her MBA and building a successful career in merchandising, sourcing, product development, and brand management. Throughout her career, she has helped bring products from concept to market while focusing on quality, performance, and consumer experience.
Driven by a passion for brand building and product design, Simona saw an opportunity to create an eyewear company that reflected the values she admired most in sport—discipline, perseverance, authenticity, and continuous improvement.
Her entrepreneurial vision, combined with Dan Jansen's remarkable legacy and athletic perspective, helped shape Jansen Eyewear into a brand dedicated to performance, purpose, and meaningful impact.
Why We Started
The idea for Jansen Eyewear grew from a simple belief: great products should do more than perform well—they should stand for something meaningful.
As athletes, Dan and Simona understand the importance of confidence, focus, and preparation. Whether competing at the highest levels of sport or pursuing everyday goals, the right equipment can make a meaningful difference.
They saw an opportunity to create a brand that combines premium eyewear, athlete-driven design, and a story rooted in perseverance, resilience, and purpose.
Jansen Eyewear was created for people who embrace challenges, pursue excellence, and believe that the journey matters just as much as the destination.

The Jane Legacy
While performance drives our products, purpose drives our mission.
Many of our initiatives are inspired by the memory of Jane Jansen Beres, Dan's sister, whose courage, kindness, and strength continue to impact countless lives.
Jane's legacy serves as a reminder that life's greatest accomplishments are often measured not by what we achieve for ourselves, but by how we help others along the way.
Through select products, partnerships, and charitable initiatives, Jansen Eyewear proudly supports causes that reflect those values and help carry Jane's legacy forward for future generations.
Looking Ahead
Jansen Eyewear was founded with a long-term vision: to create a trusted performance and lifestyle eyewear brand built on quality, authenticity, and purpose.
As we continue to grow, our commitment remains the same—to create products we are proud to wear, support causes that matter, and inspire others to pursue their goals with confidence and determination.

It is a reflection of the values we believe matter most:
- Perseverance
- Integrity
- Excellence
- Resilience
- Purpose
Every pair is designed to help people move through life with confidence, clarity, and the determination to keep pursuing what matters most.
Because the journey is rarely easy.
But the legacy you leave behind is built one step, one challenge, and one victory at a time.
