Since 1995 I have made it my mission to put the art in construction. Specializing on metal work – blacksmithing and artisan welding – it is my passion to bring my clients’ visions to reality in their homes.

Staircases, handrails, fireplaces, light fixtures are not just necessities, they are a part of our home, part of the space where we arguably spend the most time, where we want to feel the freedom of expressing ourselves. Just like art, construction can be a medium to put more of ourselves in the space around us.

RT Artisan Welding is a company that focuses on  making metal work truly customizable for residential and small commercial buildings. My family and I are at the heart of the company, so we are small enough to guarantee that you will never just be “one more client” and to truly customize your metal product. At the same time I am networked enough to be able to master any size of job. Custom meets productivity.
I frequently check in with my clients to make sure the vision for their space is reflected in my work, while I am also willing to offer my experience in design alongside my experience in metal work.

Located in Southwest Missouri I serve the Kansas City area, St. Louis, Lake of the Ozarks, Springfield and everything in between.
