Two guys and a couple garages.
We are friends with different backgrounds who share a common passion for creating, engineering, problem solving, and making art. We have a diverse set of skills that come out in our work and influence the way we approach our unique styles. Together we make a great team and can create just about anything you can imagine.
Chris and his garage
I have had a long career in making, as well as careers in both technology and education. At 16 I was working for fortune 500 companies doing IT work, and transitioned to teaching when I was in my mid-twenties. For a decade I was a makerspace and technology teacher, teaching high school mechanical and electrical engineering, robotics, woodworking, computer science, programming, and more.
I began my making career at the ripe old age of 5 when I would accompany my father to job sites and help by sweeping and organizing materials. At 21 I rekindled my artistic side and began my serious love affair with creating as a knife maker and blacksmith. From there I moved to fabrication, welding, and various machining processes, and then branched out to woodwork.
For the past 4 years I have been a professional craftsman and millworker, training with a professional cabinet maker and starting my own company doing fine cabinetry and furniture making. My absolute favorite kinds of things to make are the hard ones to figure out how to build, and creative problem solving and attention to detail what sets my work apart.
Matt and his garage
I have also had a diverse career. My career began in the Marines, as a mechanic. After serving and being discharged in 2001, I continued my career as a mechanic, attained my B.S. in Electrical Engineering while also working as an artist at one point drawing for Image comics.
I have done every variety of art, and my specialties include drawing, digital art, and airbrush work. I have dabbled in most every medium you can imagine, from wood to metal, ceramic, plastics, cardboard, and much more.
As a child I was drawn to comics, as many are, and fell in love with the story telling and the art that went into it. It has long inspired the kinds of content I create and I enjoy playing with different mediums and blending lots of different styles into my creations.
