MAVERICK

Definition: [MAV-ER-ICK ('MAV-RIK)] an independent individual who does not go along with a group or party.

Origin: When a client gave Samuel A. Maverick 400 cattle to settle a $1,200 debt, the 19th-century south Texas lawyer had no use for them, so he left the cattle unbranded and allowed them to roam freely (supposedly under the supervision of one of his employees). Neighboring stockmen recognized their opportunity and seized it, branding and herding the stray cattle as their own. Maverick eventually recognized the folly of the situation and sold what was left of his depleted herd, but not before his name became synonymous with such unbranded livestock.

By the end of the 19th century, the term maverick was being used to refer to individuals who prefer to blaze their own trails.

Modern Maverick:

Confidence and honor built and earned through stoic authenticity of self, chosen over normalized bandwagon jumping tactics to blend in and go unnoticed. The harder way being the only way; facing head on what hardships are required to create strength of character and will .

Refusal of settling for anything if everybody's got it, status-quo, mundane. Integrity fueled standards of self so out of norm, it's viewed as being a 'wild card'. Its the blazing of a new trail to get er' done, find a way, make it happen. All borne from holding oneself to a higher caliber of self responsibility no matter who is looking or keeping score. That's all clear hallmarks of a 'Maverick'.

YOU, the modern day Mavericks, inspire our mission of bringing back that old fashioned hard work and elbow grease pride of creating innovative solutions built to last, for blazing new trails beyond the mundane and always providing more value than expected.

I have always had a passion for building and working with my hands. I started as the kid that always took his toys apart to see how they worked, but was mostly able to put them back together. As I got older I found a passion for vintage cars and then got into welding and fabricating. My magnificent wife also helped to developed my passion for vintage and antique items. I find beauty in the vintage and classical design of the past. I strive to bring that type of design and beauty into my own work utilizing new and old methods that I have learned. I continue to learn everyday to work through the projects at hand. I can also help to bring that beauty and design to your projects. I look forward to hearing from you.
