About

Crown began in 2017 when a passion for creating met a love for blades and just like that, a hobby was born. Before I knew it, Crown had become a small little gig. Years later, I still adore every part of the process from designing and styling to sharpening and marking. No matter what leaves my shop in a shipping box, my goal will always be to provide people with knives that are tough, attractive, sharp, and unlike any other tool they own. At the end of the day, my commitment to the process, the product, and the customer is unfailing. If it bears the crown, I am standing behind it.

The name ‘Crown Knives’ comes from one thing: my love for Jesus Christ who bore the crown of thorns on our behalf, died, was resurrected, and now exists in eternal glory bearing the crown of a king everlasting. My work, this company, and every product that leaves my shop is dedicated to proclaiming the person of Jesus. It is by His loving mercy that I am able to spend time creating with my hands, and it is by His grace alone that I am saved.

Having said all of this, Crown Knives is not my full-time job. I am a youth pastor, and before that an at-risk youth worker. My life’s mission has been to walk alongside children, teenagers, and young adults who are hurting, exploring, wondering, and pursuing an abundant life.

When I'm not spending time with my family or making knives, I like to make cold brew, beef jerky, brisket, and fires.
