Art + Life + Living = Passion
A Cheesehead + Chicagoan + West Coast Story
Since I was a young boy I’ve been fascinated with making things with all types of materials... from model kits to found object projects. My grandpa Charlie took me into his workshop at the young age of 8 and taught me how to work with wood, copper and glass. My grandpa Ludwig gave me his Audel’s Machinist & Toolmakers handbook to learn the complex mathematics needed for the skills of fine metalworking. Then teachings with basic hand tools to industrial size machines, to cut, turn and engrave. My father, my best friend, “Bob”… showed me how things were put together and taken apart, repaired and restored. And through these early lessons he instilled upon me that the biggest reward will be working with people and teams, no matter what you do in Life!
Seeking my own life’s journey... become a tradesman as many family & friends, to a nearly becoming a Navy fighter pilot, Architecture & the Second-City became my career niche to learn the profession & disciplines to become an Architect.
Today, Craeft is my passion to provide the highest quality works & craftsmanship for every project created. Since 1990, providing services to customers & clients throughout the country.
