We are Broken Beak
Get To Know the Maker
In September 2021, my life took a profound turn when I was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare and challenging bone and muscle cancer. Enduring extensive rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, alongside countless visits to hospitals and doctors' offices, I was unable to continue working. With unwavering support from my wife Sydney, friends, and family, I triumphed over cancer within ten months.
During this period of recovery, Broken Beak Leather emerged as a therapeutic outlet, filling the void left by other sidelined hobbies. Crafting leather goods became more than just a pastime; it became a meaningful way to stay active and focused.
Two years later, inspired by the enthusiastic reception at local craft fairs in Colorado Springs, I made the decision to share my passion for leatherworking with a wider audience. The positive feedback and interest received during this time fueled my ambition to turn this beloved hobby into a meaningful endeavor.
Today, Broken Beak Leather stands as a testament to resilience, creativity, and the support of a community. Each handcrafted piece reflects not only craftsmanship but also the journey of overcoming adversity and embracing newfound passions.
Thank you for being a part of our story.
