My passion and vocation from 1991 to 2022: creating new uses for discarded materials (mostly bicycle parts). From early inventions like Tube Tie® straps to large furniture pieces to production products including bike chain bowls, bottle openers and picture frames, the common thread was collecting stuff other people threw away and delightfully figuring out ways to make it desirable again. Resource Revival the brand was sold to a nifty, like-minded company in Texas in 2022, and with that my work with bike parts was done.
