The Story

While I was still serving in the United States Marine Corps, I began making custom wooden going-away gifts for Marines as they transferred, retired, or moved on to their next chapter. I wanted to create something more personal than an off-the-shelf plaque—something that represented their service, their unit, and the memories they had made along the way.

​

What started as a few projects in my workshop quickly grew through word of mouth. One project led to another, and before long I was building military ribbon displays, shadow boxes, challenge coin displays, unit logos, retirement gifts, and other personalized pieces.
