I started working in HVAC in 1996
In my career I've worked residential, commercial, industrial, and architectural sheet metal. I've done specialty fabrication work ranging from stainless steel kitchen equipment to industrial equipment.
I also make or modify a lot of my own shooting gear. This allows me to try out certain things for function and the modify the design to work for me personally.
Recently I have started doing some testing and evaluating of products in the firearm industry.
I have worked as a volunteer trail builder for both hiking and mountain biking in Colorado, Illinois, and Indiana.
