A new contract with L&H Industrial, and the story behind the shirt

Excited to announce a new contract with L&H Industrial. Looking forward to delivering on this project and continuing to build solutions for Wyoming's industrial sector. Shoutout to Gage Wandler for the opportunity and for trusting IronForge Automations with this work.

But I want to talk about the shirt I was wearing when I signed.

Back in September, my parents hired me to rebuild the website for The Cowboy Saloon. At the time, I thought I could deliver something great. I was wrong. The tech stack I chose was limiting, and when they started asking for features that would actually serve the business, I kept hitting walls. The platform just couldn't do what they needed.

So over Christmas and into January, I rebuilt the entire site from scratch with different tools. Lessons learned. Better result. The site they have now is the site they deserved from the start.

Here is what I learned: if I build something that does not meet my standard, I will make it right. Not because anyone forced me to. Because that is the only way I know how to operate.

Every project teaches me something. Every client gets the best version of what I can build at that moment. And if that version is not good enough, I come back and fix it.

Grateful for the people who give me the chance to prove that.
