I’m a Harley Davidson enthusiast and employee, in Cambridge Ontario, Canada.

I got into leather work purely by accident. While working with motorcycles, leather goes hand in hand. You’ll wear leather for protection and you’ll put leather accessories on your bike. There was one very simple leather accessory on my bike that I wanted to replace, but after searching, I realized that the quality wasn’t up to my standard and I could do better, myself. I started off getting a few tools, a cut of leather and my journey started. Before I started working on the accessory for my bike, I decided to practice honing my skills by making keychains and wallets. In 2018 I started to sell small pieces and progressively sold more, but still hadn’t completed what got me started in leather work. In 2020 I finally completed that project.

Sometimes the greatest things are things that happen by accident and when you didn’t intend for them to happen.

Along my journey of learning the art of leather craft and finding my own style, I’ve learned that nothing is greater than the quality of your work. I hand cut, hand dye, and hand stitch my work, using only top quality leathers. I only use full grain vegetable tanned and chrome tanned leathers and search out the best cuts of leather to use.

Continue to follow me and see where my journeys take me.
