Born and raised in Chester County, I’ve been drawn to building and working with my hands for as long as I can remember. My welding journey began at 15 when my grandfather bought a basic stick welder and encouraged me to repair his lawn mower instead of taking it to a shop. The first welds weren’t pretty, but they sparked something. From there, I spent years teaching myself through constant practice and research, eventually refining my skills in the Engine Technology program at Technical College High School Brandywine Campus while also building a strong foundation in woodworking through high school shop class.

After graduation, I went straight into the workforce, starting at the bottom and learning everything I could from experienced tradesmen. Over time, I earned certifications in structural steel and process piping, worked in the motorsports industry, and gained over a decade of experience in welding, fabrication, and millwright work. In July 2025, I made the leap into full-time self-employment — pushing myself further professionally while creating the flexibility to be fully present as a husband and father.

Every project that leaves my shop carries the same work ethic, attention to detail, and pride that shaped my journey from the very beginning — and I’m grateful to do work I believe in, building pieces that last for people who value quality.
