MY Lifetime of craftsmanship

My journey in automotive restoration began long before I ever stepped into a shop. My first job, at the age of 13, was in a high-end bicycle studio, where I hand-built elite race bikes. It was there that I discovered the discipline of precision, the importance of balance and detail, and the pride in creating something both beautiful and functional. That same mindset carried forward when I turned my focus to automobiles—machines with soul, history, and stories worth preserving.

What started as a vocational trade in high school has since evolved into decades of experience, advanced certifications, and tens of thousands of hours spent perfecting the science of restoration. Every project I take on is guided by the same philosophy: precision, transparency, and respect for the craft. This is not simply repair work—it is a discipline, a commitment to excellence, and a passion for preserving the soul of each automobile.
