| О себе: | I’ve been doing leatherwork for over 30 years now. I got my start in Leathercraft when a neighbor who was moving gave me a 55 gal drum full of scrap leather. I went to my local Tandy store and bought a small beginners tool set. The manager, Don McGown was one of the most helpful people I’ve ever met. If it wasn’t for all his help and encouragement I would have given up. After a few years I was able to take some classes from masters like Bob Beard, Peter Main, Tony Laier and Chuck Smith. Leatherwork became my passion, I turned it into my full time business in 1990 and have never had a days regret. In 1995 the new Tandy Mgr. ask me to teach the advanced leather class for him. I’ve been teaching ever since. When I started teaching in 1995, I taught one night a week. In 1999 Tandy closed all their retail stores down. In order to assist leathercrafters, scouts and others to be able to purchase leatherworking supplies; a friend of mine opened a leather retail store. I moved my shop in and helped run the store. Upon opening the store I began teaching both a beginners and an advanced class. Ten years ago I added another beginners class and Seven years ago I opened another night for an intermediate class. I also teach private classes on Friday nights for people that don’t want to take a full A-Z course or just want to learn to make a single type of project. I’ve been teaching the Boy Scouts Leathercraft merit badge class for the last nine years and have visited many schools to demonstrate leather craft. Since I am unable to get away from the store much anymore, I now offer free classes to teachers and camp counselors so they can go back and teach their students. I have found teaching to be one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. My students have pushed my abilities far beyond anything I would have done on my own. For many years now I have had other instructors such as Bob Beard and Jeff Mosby come and teach classes. I encourage my students to take as many classes from other instructors as possible. I myself continue to take classes and learn new techniques so that I can pass them on to my students and customers. In 2001 the original manager of Standing Bear's Trading Post left and I became full time manager as well as running my custom leather business. In June 2006, the owner William “Standing Bear” Kimmey passed away and the family transferred ownership of the store to me. Some of the things that I have been involved in over the years, include the following: The Autry Museum invited me to instruct at their “make it and take it” for the public in ’95, ’96, & ’97. In 1995 I also did a TV show for HGTV called “What’s Your Hobby?” Even though I did leatherwork for a living not a hobby, they thought I’d be best for the show. I have been a member of the International Internet Leathercrafters Guild ("IILG") since 1996 and am also a member of The Leathercraft Guild and the current Vice-president. In 1999 I was the only leather artist invited to put their work in the Fuller Museum in Brockton Mass. In an exhibit call “Hand Crafted for Outdoor Sports” On September 17th 2006 I was presented a flag flown over the Capital by Congressman Brad Sherman's Office in recognition for dedication and service to the youth of the community. In February 2008, I was asked to be a part of Biker Radio Magazine’s radio show entitled “The Leather Show”. During the episode I was able to share with listeners how to work with leather in order to personalize their motorcycles. On April 20th 2008, I had the honor of being presented with the Weaver Memorial Perpetual Trophy for Outstanding Service to The Leathercraft Guild, by guild president Robert Ambriz September 28th 2013, I had the honor of being presented with The Al Stohlman Award for Acheivement in Leatherwork.
