My father would take me on trips all around the neighborhoods and to tag sales and he would find things that looked like junk to me and he would say, "Can you believe someone is throwing this out...we can fix this!" I didn't know it at the time, but he instilled in me a love for the old, a love for history, and a love for the story behind each item he salvaged. My father would say, "Let's go for a ride!" And I knew it would be an adventure into the world of reclaim and restore.

As a lifelong lover of all things mechanical and illuminated, I have worked in the trade industry for over 30 years. My passion is combining the old with the new to create one-of-a-kind lights. I also restore and upgrade old radios to have Bluetooth capability while maintaining their old aesthetic.
