I started South Bench Precision in 2020 to serve the Tri-Cities, Washington (Kennewick, Richland, Pasco) and the broader Pacific Northwest region.

I've been a machinist, mechanic, welder and fabricator for more than 30 years. My experiences include working on heavy machinery, plant equipment, and designing parts for farm and ag processing facilities to race cars and custom parts for the drag racing industry. 

The name "South Bench" is a tribute to my Northeastern Montana roots where the land's striking natural features like the South Bench, Hi-Line and Milk River Valley make the region a special place.

People from those tiny towns speckled along U.S. Highway 2 keep their commitments, help their neighbors and know the meaning of a hard day's work. We rise before the sun through dry, hot summers and bitter-cold winters with wind chills that drive temperatures well into negative double-digits.

While the Tri-Cities has been home for more than 30 years, I still value the work ethic and all I learned growing up in Montana.
