Greg Gardner

Originally from the North Country and then other parts of NY, I eventually came to Rochester to work for RIT as an IT manager. Being a nerd around nerds all day likely made 3D printing an inevitable interest, and things just grew from there. The journey of learning to make using different methods and tools is my personal joy, be it digital design & 3d printing, casting, leatherworking, blacksmithing, hobby CNC, and who know what's next.
