Despite my love of history, I found little to guide me and no real industry to speak of… Undaunted, I forged my own path as an armourer, if you’ll pardon the pun. As an entrepreneur, I try to test the boundaries of what’s considered possible. In the past, I’ve been fortunate and my endeavours have led to my most spectacular designs, but I’d be lying if I said things always went to plan. One such success was the launch of one of the world’s fastest growing maker’s communities. It is this community which inspired me to create the Academy and it is to the community that I dedicate this, my crowd-driven passion.
