The creator and founder of our company, Frank Howard, started his sandblasting journey many years ago by learning how to sandblast monuments for funeral homes. In 1994, Frank would use these skills to establish our company and begin his journey to becoming a true master at this craft. Frank was completely self-taught which makes all of his accomplishments even more impressive, but he couldn't have done it without the creative eye and support of his loving wife Gloria Howard who still helps run the business 30 years later.
As Frank took on clients and continued to expand his business, he needed a little help. He recruited his grandson, Ethyn. From a young age he would help out with small tasks such as pulling stencils and cleaning up the sandblasting room. As Ethyn got older Frank was eager to teach him the intricate ways of his craft. Ethyn picked up the trade and soon became a peer of his grandfathers, working on projects hand in hand with this mentor. That became even more important to Frank when he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2021. Frank sadly passed away in 2023 because of his illness and Ethyn stepped up to fill his shoes. For the last 3 years, Ethyn has been the president of our company and is the lead sandblaster with 10+ years of experience with sandblasting.
