I am one of two people who own and operate Trxstle. Together we develop all of our own products, orchestrate manufacturing, oversee and perform assembly and QC, manage distribution, design and implement marketing, provide customer service, and occasionally take time to actually participate in the sports we want to support with our products.

Oak Avenue Engineering provides product design, modeling, prototyping, testing and production guidance. We work on everything from sporting goods to medical devices and industrial hand tools to packaged electronics.
