§01 · The log

How it started.

  1. 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.

  2. 1.2

    Welding school

    Finished high school and went straight to welding school. Graduated.

  3. 1.3

    Hartzell Aerospace

    My day job is welding at Hartzell Aerospace, where the parts fly and the standard doesn’t bend.

  4. 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.
