About Me

I started leather working at a young age - I sat with my grandfather during winter and learned how to sew and do minor repairs for saddle and tack that was used on the ranch over a plate of cookies and a warm potbellied stove.  It was some of the greatest memories I treasure, and most likely what led me to where I am today.  After a 20-year career and deployments to all over the world with the US Air Force, I retired and was awarded disability.  However, I found that retirement with nothing to do is pretty difficult, and after a few hits and misses, I found myself working part-time at the Cheyenne Tandy leather store.  The people there are great, and I loved being in the store where I could turn my paycheck back in to Tandy in exchange for reuniting with one of my favorite hobbies.

 

My wife and I opened Rocking RA Leatherworks in 2017 in order to meet the surprising number of individuals who came into the store needing repairs, from wallets and purses to saddles and tack. Things have simply blossomed since then - and we've been truly blessed in the inordinate amount of work we receive, from custom jobs to rebuild and refurbishment.
