Robots, the future was supposed to be full of them. I grew up in the shadow of the Apollo program, transfixed as massive machines left Pad 39A. As a young boy I devoured every episode of The Thunderbirds, Star Trek, Dr. Who, and books by Asimov, Clark and Heinlein. They all promised a brilliant future of adventure and mystery all accompanied by a faithful metal companion; not a Roomba or a self-driving car.

I have always loved building things. So, given the robotless state of my present, I grabbed a screwdriver and drill and took remnants from the past to make that missing future. I love the machine age look of polished aluminum, wrinkle paint, and Bakelite. I look for parts that complement each other. Using cast-offs from a time before transistors, I try to create something with an aesthetic unity. I want my robots to look real and like they have been used, while broadcasting a personality and sense of presence. They also need to make people smile. With each creation I get a little closer to the future I imagined. Step into The Robotorium and let me share with you the way it all could have been.
