The Craftsman Behind Timeless
A new direction.
In 2020, when live music came to a halt, I found myself at a crossroads. I had been pursuing music in Nashville, but suddenly needed to find another way forward.
My former boss encouraged me to start a small upholstery shop, knowing the years I had spent developing my skills in automotive interiors.
I started by taking on whatever work came through the door. But even then, I knew where I wanted to go. I was drawn to the challenge of building high-quality interiors for exceptional cars, and I became increasingly focused on learning the techniques required to do it well.
It started with a hot rod shop.
In 2011, I was hired at a hot rod shop where I had the opportunity to work across nearly every part of a build — from paint and bodywork to automotive interiors. Over time, I found myself gravitating toward the interior side of the work.
That shop became my foundation. I learned the fundamentals of upholstery, fabrication, and building automotive interiors, primarily working on factory-style interiors along with the occasional custom project.
Learning to Build Beyond the Ordinary.
Some of the earliest custom interiors I built gave me something more valuable than a paycheck: freedom.
A handful of customers trusted me with complete creative control over their interiors. The budgets were small, but the opportunity was enormous. I used that freedom to experiment, learn advanced techniques, work with higher-end materials, and push myself into increasingly complex fabrication.
Those projects became the foundation for the work I do today.
The Standard Changed.
Over the years, I continued refining the craft — learning new techniques, adopting new tools and technology, and constantly looking for ways to improve the quality of the work.
A TriWorks-built 1969 Camaro became a turning point. It was an opportunity to build an exceptionally complex interior designed at a level I had been working toward for years.
Completing that interior — and seeing it alongside some of the industry's best builds at the Triple Crown of Rodding — confirmed something I had been working toward for a long time: Timeless could compete at the highest level of automotive interior craftsmanship.
I've always been drawn to interiors that are complex, detailed, and beautifully executed. But I've also noticed that automotive interiors tend to fall into two extremes: designs that feel tied to a particular era, and designs that push so far into the future that they quickly become dated.
I've always wanted to build something in between.
An interior that looks right today.
One that would have looked right fifty years ago.
And one that will still hold its own fifty years from now.
That's the idea behind Timeless.
Every project is an opportunity to create something that belongs to its vehicle — not to a particular trend or era. That's the standard I continue to pursue with every interior I build.
