The Tool and Die Guy

Born into a family of tool makers, pattern makers, and machinists in Erie, PA I've been doing this stuff since I was 15. Starting out as a draftsman, I entered my apprenticeship at age 19 at Anson Tools & Gages here in Erie.
Over the years, I have worked as a mod maker, a mold designer, a tool room machinist, a shop foreman and have owned two of my own tool & die shops. I closed my last one in 2003 when my customers all went to China and Mexico for their molds.
My experience in the trade includes extensive time on milling machines, cavity and core work, CNC machining, surface grinding, cutter grinding, duplicating, AutoCad, and Electrical Discharge Machines (EDM). I spend my time now as a tool maker / machinist for a great company here in Erie.
