About

The name is the brief. Dense wood, slow growth, finished work that holds up. We ship one careful product at a time, starting with IronGuard on Android.

I started my adult life as a computer technician before becoming a machinist by trade. I’ve spent my career surrounded by technology, moving from fixing computers to running precision computer controlled machines.

Now based in Southern Illinois, I’ve spent years searching for apps that actually did exactly what I needed. After constantly settling for tools that were close but never quite right, I decided to start building my own.

Under the brand Ironwood Apps, I’m now sharing the best of those tools with you.
