At just 11 years of age, he got his first bike, but it was when he got his first Harley that he started building bikes officially. He also started an apprenticeship as a machinist where his father worked, and his love for metals got him hooked.

Anthony Patridge has worked a variety of jobs including machinist, tool and dye maker.
