Built In Vain - The Roots
Throughout childhood I was heavily influenced by the local graffiti scene. It was a common occurrence to pass by some empty cans in your travels only to eventually arrive at some new artwork that was available for the city to see. This started way back in the elementary school era. Too young to have any money but every so often you would pick up a can that wasn't empty - even luckier if it still had a cap on it - - it was like hitting the jackpot. From here, the rest was history, the aerosol rattle has been permanently embedded in my subconscious.
My entire life has been a steady pursuit of expressing creativity with any type of tool I could get my hands on. From pencil, to marker, to paint can, to ratchet, to soldering iron, to welding torch, to CNC machine - I have realized that the tool does not matter but rather the drive & passion behind it. The meaning behind "BUILT IN VAIN" expresses the truth behind creative minds, fabricators, mechanics, and the like. That truth being that the work day is never truly over. The project car will now and forever always be a project car. We take on these tireless tasks to create our vision knowing that things rarely go perfectly the first shot and that some things require constant maintenance or adjustment to get it just right. . .but we do this for the simple fact that it is our creation. These never ending technical projects are built in vain but it is in our DNA to not quit or give up, ever.
This company is the culmination of all of these years of experience. The goal is to provide custom products while utilizing many talents that not only stand out, but follow my cardinal rule - if it's not something that I would run myself, I will not provide it. This ensures absolute integrity.
Staying true to this is my promise.
