These photos pay tribute to the exceptional craftsmanship and innovative spirit of the founders' father, whose hands-on approach is a testament to his versatile skills. From constructing the family home, garage, fish wood kiln, and sheds to crafting furniture, his dedication to quality is evident in every project. Noteworthy creations include a custom shim machine, an automated shrink wrap machine, a pioneering foldable wooden table, and a pop-up fish house from the 1980s that remains in use today. His ingenuity even led him to transform an aluminum boat lift into an overnight fish house.
His expertise spans plumbing, welding, mechanics, electrical work, and carpentry, showcasing his remarkable versatility and problem-solving abilities. Beyond his primary work, he and the founders' mother managed a successful cleaning and mowing business serving the local area.
His relentless drive for innovation and exploration continues to inspire the founders, fostering a culture of continuous learning and evolution at Clifton Engineering, LLC. His strong work ethic and dedication to high standards have laid the foundation for the company, guiding the founders in their pursuit of excellence and innovation in every project.
