About Me

I have had a lifelong appreciation for firearms—shaped early on through hunting with my grandfather and listening to his firsthand accounts from World War II. Those experiences instilled not just an interest, but a deep respect for the history and engineering behind the small arms of that era.

After a 25-year career with Toyota as a Tool and Die Maker, I transitioned into building what I had spent years studying—bringing precision manufacturing and historical understanding together into my own work.

Today, I operate as a federally licensed 07 manufacturer in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, specializing in historically influenced firearm builds, restoration, and machine gun repair. Much of my work centers around understanding and preserving the original design intent, manufacturing methods, and functional reliability of these platforms—ensuring they continue to perform as intended while maintaining their historical integrity.

For many collectors, these firearms represent more than equipment—they are significant financial and historical investments. I approach every project with that in mind. Attention to detail, discretion, and accountability are not optional—they are foundational. Whether building, restoring, or servicing a firearm, the goal is to ensure that each piece is treated with the level of care and respect it deserves.

My long-term focus is to produce semi-automatic recreations of historically significant firearms—executed with a level of accuracy and craftsmanship that reflects their original form while meeting modern standards. This is not mass production—it is deliberate, detail-driven work intended for serious collectors and enthusiasts who value authenticity.

Much of my time is dedicated to research, development, and hands-on craftsmanship. As a result, this website is updated less frequently than my other platforms, where I share ongoing projects and technical insights in greater detail.
