Powder Coated Bench

I was the weird, artsy kid growing up. At 34 years old, it's funny how things don't change.

Allow me to introduce myself: I am a designer, maker, installer, entrepreneur, and nerd. I grew up learning everything I know from my dad and a healthy dose of trial & error.

Before becoming a full-time “maker”, I worked in the music industry, producing video and developing the marketing for artists like Lil’ Wayne, U2, the Foo Fighters, and many others. Shortly after, I opened two passion projects in Chicago: Code of Conduct – a full service tattoo shop and creative collective in the historic South Loop – and a workshop in the urban West Loop that produces marketing for some of today's biggest and most relevant brands.

Today, I can be found in my workshop where I design custom items like handmade motorcycle parts, furniture, and creative carpentry. Many of my skills are learned timeless trades like welding, woodworking, however I also have modern capabilities like operating Plasma CNC and Router tables (meaning I can cut a logo or designed file into just about any material with accuracy).

If you are looking for something handmade with heart and soul, that actually works and functions, you have found the right maker for the job.
