I grew up working in a family machine shop where I learned the ins and outs of precision manufacturing, and furthered my expertise in CAD and mechanical engineering in college. During my early career, I then spent a number of years creating patentable solutions as an R&D engineer of mining equipment and freelancer of my product development and prototyping services. Eventually my career shifted to a focus on process engineering and business management, and I set aside my mechanical work.

Over those years, I assembled my own machine shop where I enjoy spending my off-time making things for friends and family ranging from decorative lighting, to furniture, to tools, to auto parts. There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone you love solve a problem they otherwise couldn't.

After befriending Tyreek Minter, owner of Boots and Briskets Soap Co, he brought up several unique challenges in soap manufacturing that we worked together to solve, creating much of the equipment you see showcased on this site, which I now make for you, to your specifications.
