About Us

We would receive requests to repair PCA hoses and out of our “we can do this” mindset, I began manufacturing PCA Hoses, in parallel to operating the three retail shoe repair locations.

In 1989, I sold the retail operation to concentrate on manufacturing. We marketed ourselves based on our core competencies. We realized that we could manufacture more out vinyl products than PCA Hoses. Through our work creating backdrop curtains for indoor tennis facilities, we evolved to designing and manufacturing industrial curtain walls.

I love this business and our customers. We absolutely spend more time than our competitors with our customers, working through the functionality of the curtain and track system in correlation to their specific needs. We view this extra attention as essential from both a safety and effectiveness standpoint.

Outside of being “Mr. AmCraft,” I enjoy listening to music, photography and all things cars. But one of the biggest joys that I am happy to experience and the title that I wear most proudly, is being a Grandfather. I can just sit and watch my grandson without an inkling of the time as it passes by. It has taught me how to slow down and to find calm in the midst of a busy day.

At the time, school was not a priority for me as I desired more hands-on, real world experiences. This led me to obtain an Apprenticeship/Degree in pattern construction, sewing and design. Since speaking different languages is viewed as a benefit in Europe, I took various language courses while I worked. During this time, I enjoyed my freedom to travel and explore. However, I quickly realized that if I didn’t want to be told what to do for the rest of my life, I would need to go back to school. Therefore, I obtained a degree in Economics and General Business in Zurich, Switzerland.

I have always worked, either part time or full-time, while raising my four children. I enjoy the interaction on different levels. In 2003, I found a perfect fit for my abilities at AmCraft Manufacturing. We’ve accomplished a slow, but steady growth over all these years. We welcome new challenges which allows us to be very diversified in our service offerings.

Currently, I play a Senior role overseeing the production of goods, design and provision of services. It give me great satisfaction to improve designs, workflow and relations.
