I’m Kevin, the founder and craftsman behind Cryptid Customs Metalworks. Allow me to take you on a journey through my life, offering a glimpse into how my varied experiences culminated in the fusion of passion and profession that is my business today. What started as a personal exploration of welding and fabrication has grown into a specialized service offering unique metalwork solutions.
In the years after serving as a Combat Marine Corps Veteran, I found myself at crossroads, seeking a vocation that not only sparked joy but also aligned with my values and lifestyle preferences. Enter Cryptid Customs Metalworks, a venture that allowed me to draw upon my rich personal history and technical proficiencies — cultivated through years of hands-on experience — to create pieces that resonate with both function and artistry.
This business isn’t just about crafting metal but about sharing a piece of my journey with each client. I poured my heart into this business to provide more than just a service, but also an engaging experience that reflects my unwavering dedication to craftsmanship and client satisfaction. With Cryptid Customs, I strive to offer something meaningful and lasting.
Now, I welcome you to explore a bit more about my background and how it all started. Let’s explore my journey from the heart of the Midwest to mastering the art of metalwork.
