The Long Way Around

His passion for precision began in his uncle’s machine shop, where he spent time as a kid getting his first exposure to machining. At the time, it was simply a place he enjoyed visiting, not yet a defined direction.

After college, he took a typical office job in Massachusetts and moved into an in-law apartment at his aunt and uncle’s home, just minutes from the same machine shop he had visited as a kid. Being back in that environment and learning more from his uncle steadily pulled him in. Just five months into his first job out of college, he made a decisive move. He called an audible on the career he had been preparing for and quit his job to join his family’s business and learn the trade hands-on.

The shop produced high-tolerance components across industries including aerospace, medical, and optical manufacturing. That environment shaped his standards: accuracy, repeatability, and craftsmanship without compromise.

Precision defined his work. Golf, however, had long been a constant in his life. Since the age of 15, he worked at his local course, returning every summer through high school and college.

Over time, those disciplines began to intersect. After seeing others designing and milling putters on Instagram, he began to wonder what it would look like to apply his own machining background to the craft. What started as a curiosity turned into months spent designing, refining, and modeling before he ever attempted to produce one.

Eventually, he machined a putter for himself. Then his brother wanted one. A few friends followed. What began as a deliberate experiment grew slowly and naturally into a small-batch pursuit guided by a simple focus: make the highest quality putters possible.

It wasn’t the plan, but it turned out to be exactly where he was meant to be.
