Upon graduation from High School he went to work at the G.R. Douglas Company where he learned everything from heat treating to barrel fitting and all the other neat things in between.

His wife and best friend Carolyn also makes woven sashes, pouch and horn straps. Their hand made items are of exceptional quality and are very reasonably priced.
