It all began when I was a little kid with a big pile of Legos, spending hours creating buildings and vehicles and setting up little neighbourhoods, just being a kid having fun. Then a few years later my father brought me home a plastic model kit of a muscle car. With a bottle of glue and a few bottles of paint I began building and learning about cars from the ground up or inside out. I grew up in the muscle car era listening to and watching these incredible loud colourful chrome covered machines that captured all of my senses at once. So I guess you can say I was quite heavily influenced initially by cars, but loved motorcycles just as much. However, models were an indoor activities. Once I was on two wheels and on my own I rode my bike everywhere, just wanting to see the world. Growing up I was given second hand bicycles. Therefore, when they kept on breaking I began looking through the garage and found some tools and taught myself how to use them.
When I was 18 I bought my first motorcycle and was hooked. Unfortunately I didn't keep it very long, life forced me to sell it.
Fast forward to 2003, my life took a different turn and I went out and bought another motorcycle. I hadn't owned a motorcycle for many years but I had ridden a few on occasion and the love was always still there. Having to maintain my own motorcycle I learned quickly what the costs were going to be. So I started doing maintenance and custom work on my own motorcycle. It started with a pair of turn signals. Then it was a tail light, a brake line and it just kept on going from there. One of my friends brought over a welder one day and we started learning how to weld and I'm still learning - it's a lifetime process. As each job evolved so did my skills and my ability to tackle each problem and resolve it.
Then one day my friend suggested I build a Cafe Racer - so I did. I received much support and compliments. In between all of that I put out an ad for maintenance and custom work and the phone started to ring. That was somewhere around 2005. Since then have created many motorcycles that I'm very proud of. My customers bring me their bikes their vision and their budget and I do everything that I can to make all three work together. The goal being to produce one beautiful motorcycle that I am proud of and that they will be proud to own and ride for years to come.
