"I always try to understand the customers in order to understand the holster I'm making for them." Our court craftsman has been fascinated with firearms since he was 14 and joined the Law Enforcement after graduation.

His love for handguns and leather can be seen in each of his works and it's suffice to say he leaves a large portion of himself in each of his holsters.
