A self-taught artisan, he made his first major costume, a leather suit of armor, in college out of scraps and remnants from the local Tandy. The costume later went on to win multiple awards and set him on a path to costuming as a career. Although Ribbons and Rivets specializes in leather, they have since incorporated a variety of materials and techniques.
