Our Founder
Engineering Your Vision
In 2014, Barett took his passion for off-roading, motorsports, and anything with an engine and applied his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering to a niche Mazda enthusiast market.
Over the years, he became highly skilled in CAD modeling, mechanical design, and reverse engineering, often turning complex mechanical challenges into reliable components. His ability to solve problems quickly and precisely helped the Mazda Performance company double in size and introduce several innovative, high-performance products to the Mazdaspeed community.
Today, Barett continues to create parts that have truly never been done before for the Mazdaspeed platform. He has also expanded his work into modern Ford platforms, focusing on the Ranger Raptor and Explorer ST, bringing precision-engineered upgrades to a broader enthusiast market.
After nearly a decade in traditional manufacturing, Barett shifted his focus toward modern production technologies—high-temperature additive manufacturing and advanced 3D scanning.
As his skillset grew, so did the scope of his projects—expanding into beyond automotive into historic aerospace restoration, where precision matters and every component requires careful engineering judgment. Focusing on historical aircraft, he applied his manufacturing and reverse-engineering abilities to rebuild, replicate, and preserve legacy components with modern accuracy.
