Thanks for sticking around and checking out my work! Around 2014 I started messing around with woodworking, building all sorts of stuff from dog houses, small piece furniture, outdoor structures, military plaques, and other random stuff. In 2018 I started focusing more on military plaques and in early 2020, I made my first coin display using 9mm casings. I sold it on Facebook marketplace to a loca

l firefighter and had no idea that it would lead me to where I am today. Shortly thereafter, a couple friends reached out to me to have one made and then I opened a small store on Etsy. I wasn’t sure if this was the career move I wanted to pursue upon exiting the Army, but the local support I received was overwhelming and in early 2021 I decided to push forward and go for it. My last year on active duty was intense as I cranked out my as much as I could to build a portfolio of my work. In August 2022 I opened my store in the Base eXchange mall on Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, AZ. At that time, I had very little inventory and not a whole lot of options. Over time, experimenting and tinkering around with the equipment I had, I taught myself how to create things I didn’t think I could ever do. In the summer of 2023, I upgraded and moved into a larger storefront where I am today. As I continued to work with the military on base, local law enforcement, and so many others by providing memorable one-of-a-kind items that will last a lifetime, I can’t picture myself doing anything else right now.

Went all out with 10ct challenge coin display made for a PCSing Army recruiter. He was so engaged he only answered to first name being screamed at him and loves Ramen and sushi, so of course I had to include those references. 😆

🚨 Class 201, you really pushed my limits... and I loved it. Thanks for helping keep my craft interesting! 🚓
This 20"x25" bad boy had so many odd shaped pieces, each separately made to connect a specific way. 🇺🇲 The background, usually a dark stain woodgrain was replaced with a acrylic mirror finish and darkened with 35% window tint. 🚔 Congratulations to you all and stay safe out there! 👮‍♂️ 👮‍♀️ 🎉
