About the Owner
My journey in the mechanical and welding world started before I could even legally drive. I owe a great deal of my knowledge from the lived experiences and being taken under the wing of the local mechanic in my town. He put a welder in my hand and from those early childhood days, I spent my entire life learning exactly how things work-and how to make them better.
In my early twenties, I co-owned a mechanics shop during my time in Indiana. Though life had steered me away from working full time as a mechanic, I still have a passion for fixing, tuning, and restoring cars.
When the recession hit back in 2008, I went looking for more consistent work. This is when I found employment at a steel processing plant. I started out as an apprentice and worked my way up to a Milwright. During this employment, I went on a trip to Cleveland, OH in 2013 to help a branch of the company. On this trip is when I met my now wife and what led me to move to Ohio. I transferred locations and started a new life in Cleveland. In 2016, I was promoted to Maintenance Manager. After 10 years of high-stakes maintenance and project management operations, I transitioned into business ownership to apply the same level of rigor, precision, and problem-solving to my own enterprise. I believe that a successful business, much like a well-maintained engine, relies on foundation of reliability, constant refinement, and a deep understanding of the fundamentals.
I enjoy spending time with my family. We enjoy going to car shows with our '89 C4 corvette (yes, it's a Barbie 'vette and we're not ashamed of it), dirt bike/atv riding, and going camping. I love teaching my kids how to work on cars, going to their band concerts and dance competitions, and being their biggest fan in anything they find a passion in.
Unmatched Accountability: My name and reputation are on every single weld. If it leaves my shop, it meets my highest personal standards of strength and precision.
Direct Communication: You speak directly with the person doing the work. There are no miscommunications or broken promises—just honest timelines and clear pricing.
Tailored Flexibility: I can adapt quickly to your specific design changes, tight deadlines, or unique project constraints without corporate red tape.
