My love for building started as a youngster in the suburbs of Eugene OR. I loved building LEGO kits and static models as a kid. My dad had a mobile fabrication business for several years and was always building something cool in his shop. I learned a lot by watching him and asking questions. After moving to Idaho in the mid 80s my dad and I built a couple race cars together while I was in high school. The older I got, the more my skills improved. I could weld pretty good and had started to design some of my own stuff. In 1997 I got my first CAD job and with the help of Autocad I was able to design faster and more accurately. Racecars, bumpers, roof racks, trailers, furniture… you name it I designed and built it.
I believe that there is always a balance to be found between function and aesthetics. Anything can be functional but to be unique it must be aesthetically pleasing at the same time. I am looking forward to many years of custom design, R&D and fabrication in my small shop in Idaho. Shoot me an email if you have any questions about anything you see here…
