This photo was taken 10 years ago. I was a determined 18 year old kid reaching for a dream of becoming a bootmaker. I didn’t have a dollar to my name. Many people thought I was crazy. Going against the grain wasn’t easy. I remember there was times I felt lonely working day and night, but my gut told me everything will be okay I just needed to work hard. 10 years later I am very proud to say, “I am a bootmaker.” Thank you to ALL who have been supporting me. I will continue to do my best. #underdog #soonthesunwillshine #roleclub https://www.instagram.com/p/CMoDXSMJ4qT/?igshid=spckfk0f9tjd

People from all walks of life have stepped into my workshop and I am blessed have the opportunity to meet them. This handsome gentleman is Charles and today he came to pick up his engineer boots in Olive HH. People like Charles inspire me to continue working hard because I know he genuinely appreciates craftsmanship. #RoleClub #madeinlosangeles https://www.instagram.com/p/CMYT0mUJ9MC/?igshid=u0ie1s7hcmji
