From day one I have always been interested in design and fabrication. I absolutely love the thought process from a small idea then thinking it through into something obtainable with a "plan of action". I have an amazing ability to teach myself. I have taught myself CAD Drawing, CNC machining, manual mill and lathe, ARC welding, TIG welding, MIG Welding, and water transfer printing.I also have an extensive background in plastics, Vacuum Forming , Pressure Molding, Injection Molding and assembly. I design all the tooling used at our factory from raw materials to finished product being shipped out the door. Most everything Hoese Corporation uses for the assembly and manufacturing of our products is made in house, from the plastic parts and pieces to the aluminum mounting hardware. I have designed many products for our LeatherLyke motorcycle luggage line. I am the inventor of the Sport Case, expanding our luggage line into the world of sport bikes.The Sport Case is the only hard case lockable luggage system that replaces the rear seat on current day super bikes, giving the rider the ability to transform the rear seat into usable storage with the turn of a key. My designs are not limited to motorcycles, I have designed multiple products for medical, aircraft, sporting goods and marine industries. I hope that one day I can manufacture an idea big or small for everyone I know using my abilities to help their ideas become reality.
