Asa is a long way from home, but not lost or not where he needs to be. Known and loved by many wherever he arrives, his spirit is effervescent. Much like Peewee Herman in white platforms in Tejas, he can win over any heart and leave town on his motorcycle in a loving cloud of dust. He has almost every ability to take things seriously, but that wont stop him from peppering in a joke that will have you in stitches at the most inopportune time.

His upbringing within his community informed how important it was to support those around them despite no one havin access to abundance. Growing up in the inner city of Chicago, his family focused on the importance of caring for others which has continuously followed him throughout his life and all the work he does.

Asa is a skilled craftsman at most anything, and once he decides to learn it he can’t be stopped. He received his welding certification in Chicago and went on to work in the welding field full-time for seven years. Starting as a proud member of the pipefitters union in Chicago, his other projects include commissions, custom build-outs for school bus homes as well as fully building out his own modular trailer.

In his leather tooling work and carpentry practice, he takes care to not shy away from the small details in order to produce the best product he can so as not to hand off a product he isn’t proud of.

He has a passion for nature with a focus on utilizing his extensive outdoor skills that he gained from his time as a Boy Scout that eventually led to him to the rank of Eagle Scout. If you need someone to quietly and humbly tell you you’ve done something incorrectly, Asa is your guy!
