Default PRD Design - Coming April 2022!



Well, the time has come! Starting in April, I will be officially owning and operating my own shop! I could not do it without my wife, Christine. She and my new daughter, Avery, are the fuel to my fire and I can't wait to take this journey together!

The car silhouette in the logo is the car I am building for myself I dubbed Project Ruptured Duck. Since starting the build in 2015 it has influenced change in my career in so many ways. I made a website for the car (PRDDesign.com) and I have decided to used it as the business name and the logo with the car will forever be a tribute to my first hand built car and the car that changed my career and life (yes I know, its not done yet).

The past 4+ years with Trick-Tools has been a lot of fun and I definitely learned a lot as well. Bruce and the team at Trick-Tools are some of the nicest and most honest people you will meet. It has been a pleasure working with them everyday and I will still be seeing them often as my new shop is right around the corner.

I am looking forward to once again bringing you updates on customer builds and projects as I get this shop rollin! Thanks for the the years of following me and being a small part of this as well!

Thanks Curtis! Yeah I'm about a year and a half too two years out on any big jobs already. A good problem for me but not for potential clients.
