§01 · The log
How it started.
- 1.1
First exhaust, age 15
I always liked cars and couldn’t afford real exhausts. So I got a cheap welder and built my own.
- 1.2
Welding school
Finished high school and went straight to welding school. Graduated.
- 1.3
Hartzell Aerospace
My day job is welding at Hartzell Aerospace, where the parts fly and the standard doesn’t bend.
- 1.4
MouaFab
I don’t want a 9-to-5 forever. MouaFab is my own shop: cages, exhaust and fab for the car community, built toward full-time.

§02 · Why the hours
Built after dark.
Weeknights 5 to 10 and weekends 6 to 5. If you work days, those are the hours you can actually drop a car off. Same as me.
