I hope everyone had an unreal 4th of July! 🇺🇸🎉🎆
Like most holidays, I spent the day in my workshop for more than 13 hours. Completely exhausted, I fell asleep on the couch within 45 minutes of calling it a day. My wife and family rushed to the door, which woke me up. We spent the rest of the evening watching fireworks over the rolling hills behind our backyard. In that moment, I couldn’t have been more thankful for the freedom to chase my dream of making baseball gloves for a living.
It’s not a lot of money for the amount of time, effort, sweat, and blood involved (literally… I accidentally shoved a lacing needle under my fingernail and broke off part of my index fingernail). But it’s a living that is worth every bit of the dream I’m chasing.
Almost a year ago, my family moved to Arizona. In that short amount of time, my workload has skyrocketed like the fireworks from last night.
To all of my customers waiting on one of my handmade gloves, please know that I’m working day and night to get them finished. Thank you for your patience and support.
Lastly, I’d like to introduce my quality control supervisor, Iris. She’s a retired street cat who turned into a nearly perfect saving grace. She came into our lives during a difficult time when my wife was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Iris spends most of her time with Lindsay, but every now and then she comes down to the workshop to check on my progress.
