I grew up on my grandparent's horse farm in San Angelo, Texas surrounded by all kinds of leather goods.  Cowboy boots, saddles, belts, chaps, horse tack and so many others.

 

My grandfather prided himself on self-sufficiency, hard work and doin' it right the first time and it rubbed off.  Times were tough on the farm and if you wanted something fixed or fabbed, you did it yourself.

​

With time, I turned the necessity for repair turned into the art of creation. With the birth of my daughter in 2016, my hobby became a great way to make a living while accomplishing my other passion – being a stay-at-home Dad.  When my wife is home from her hitches as a flight nurse, we cherish spending time together, enjoying the outdoors.

​​

In January 2024, we waved goodbye to Texas and returned to our favorite state, Colorado!  We're slowly getting settled in the beautiful city of Cortez and I'm looking forward to getting to know the community and put my talents to work!
