About Me

I'm a Michigan native through and through, now Fruita, CO is my home. Here's a little about me and my humble engraving shop.

Michigan Roots

I'm a Michigan native through and through. Flint is my hometown but Flushing is where I grew up and finished high school.

I earned a business degree from Eastern Michigan University but like most people, ended up in a totally different career.

Some of my favorite places include Grand Haven, Lake Leelanau, and the Upper Peninsula.

Here I am playing conductor with my grandpa's backyard trains. Millington, MI.

Chicago Corporate Life

After college I started my career as a software engineer in Chicago. I've worked for several small startups as well as Amazon.com.

Colorado Adventure

Having spent my time in the big city it was time to head out west for some adventure. Being able to work remotely allowed me to make the move to Colorado and explore a different part of the country.

I have some of the best camping and mountain biking in the country right outside my door.
