Something I could put my name on.
After more than three decades in the automotive industry—leading teams, earning awards, and building relationships—I felt the pull to create something of my own. Something I could build with my hands. Something I could be proud to put my name on.
As a United States Marine veteran, I learned early that there is no substitute for doing the job right. That same mindset carries into every firearm, part, and project that comes through my shop.
I started Bushwhacker Metal Coatings to provide finishes that do not just look good—they perform. Whether it is Cerakote, powder coating, or restoration work, every piece is treated like it is my own.
If it is not something I would put on my own gear, my guns, or my truck, it is not going out the door.
This isn’t a side job. It’s my name, my standards, and my promise.
