Ryan Everson
Hi, I'm Ryan.
For the last 20 years I have, quite simply, been a Mechanic.
From getting hauled to refrigeration jobs as far back as I can remember by my dad in his business, to working as shop bitch at small family owned and operated lawnmower shop, to fixing M1A2 tanks in a combat zone, to full time welding college with 2 side jobs, to my own automotive and exhaust/fab. shop, to the North Dakota oilfields, and now back to my hometown in north coast Oregon.
That is 20 years of 80 hour work weeks sprinkled with lost loves, life friends, mortal enemies, boozy shenanigans, hands that are all scar, a warped sense of humor, thousands of miles covered across 2/3 of America, a few countries, and millions of interesting things I have seen on my wild adventure so far.
That is my art.
Unique, varied, has stories, and is useful in some cases.
I am never done learning.
