Our Story

After spending years in the automotive field, including building custom cars that are now owned by movie stars, life eventually forced me to slow down and rethink my future. After spinal surgery, I tried working a few more years, but deep down I knew it was time for a change.

Around that same time, both of my kids had moved away, and my wife and I realized we were ready for a new chapter and a different kind of journey together.

I’ve always been the kind of person who comes up with ideas and builds things when I can’t find exactly what I need. For years, I created products and solutions for myself and others, often seeing similar ideas reach the market years later. Looking back, I probably should have started this journey sooner, but life has a way of working things out when the time is right.

When I stepped away from the automotive field, my wife and I spent time living the RV lifestyle, which inspired many of the RV solutions I create today. Living on the road gave me first-hand experience with the small everyday problems people deal with, and it pushed me to start designing products that make those experiences simpler, more reliable, and easier to enjoy.

Many of our products start with a real-world problem. After returning home from our RV travels, I wanted a reliable way to automatically refill a coffee machine without relying on cheap components or questionable setups. The FillBuddy System came from that experience. When I couldn’t find a solution I trusted for everyday use, I decided to build one myself — something dependable, practical, and designed to a higher standard.

That mindset is what started this small company.

Today, I design and build products that are practical, functional, and made with the same attention to detail I brought to every custom build over the years. Everything comes from real experience, real problem-solving, and a genuine passion for creating things that work the way they should.

What started as a one-man operation continues to grow, with my wife by my side and many more ideas and products still to come. We truly appreciate everyone who supports us along the way.

Thanks for supporting a small business built on passion,
experience, and a lot of hard work.
