Company History

I have been an Electrical Engineer for 28 years plus possess mechanical aptitude.  I am passionate about what I design and how it gets done.  As a result, Engineering Artisan was established to turn my ideas into products, and provide an avenue to channel my creative, but practical, approach to engineering.

In July 2007, the first product released was V-Rod ForeArms, which are passenger peg relocation arms for V-Rods.  The ForeArms were conceived so that my 2007 VRSCAW would be comfortable for my wife (my 1988 FXRT set the comfort standard for her).   The prototype design proved to be functional, possessed a stealthy appearance, and flowed well with the V-Rod's lines.  My wife joking refers to the ForeArms as "marriage extenders".

In 2008, I helped a few friends with projects/launching products, and decided to offer Embedded Electronic Design/Development Services, which merges my education and experience with my interests.
