Accomplishments

Ive been into the mechanical/ fabrication side of things my entire life, from working around local shops since high school. Having hands on training and learning from great guys in an experianced field to building thing from the ground up with my own ideas and engineering things to do what they were intended to do!! Cars, trucks, sleds, bikes, boats and what ever else should be able to look good and go fast was and has always been my interests!

Local racer who builds most all of his own equipment in a highly compettative sport,

Started building local racecar's in the late 80s I've had the honor and privileges to work along some of the North Wests best in the business, 34 different classes of circle track cars, 3 different levels of drag racing cars, restoration projects, and ground up hotrod builds has been my love and compassion, When Im not building things Im generally on my bike or my sled enjoying the great outdoors with everything life has to offer.
