What do you get when you mix one man, a welder, a machinist and Inventor? A hundred plus half-finished inventions, a global shortage of common sense, and 60 years of creative chaos?

You get Born Between the Dog and the Fire Hydrant — a hilarious, heartfelt, and brutally honest memoir of trying, failing, fixing, and occasionally catching on fire in the pursuit of “just one more idea.”

From roadside corn stands and CB radio hustles to fish farms, smokehouses, cassette tape pockets, and topiary deer, this book is a tribute to every garage genius who ever heard, “You can’t do that,” and did it anyway.

Whether you're a maintenance worker with a bent wrench, a maker who can’t stop starting projects, or just someone who’s duct-taped their dreams together more than once — this is your people.

A must-read for anyone who’s ever asked:
“Why am I the smart one?”
