Roscoe,California, (Penrose Ave??),Barrel maker and custom gunsmith. Ran a shop with a number of employees. D.J.'Monty' Kennedy was his main stock guy for most of the time. ('Checkering & Carving of Gunstocks' by Monty Kennedy)

Started before WW2 but gained most of his status in the gun business after the War. Originally a tool maker by trade as most all these types were.
Sporter, benchrest, pistol, muzzle loader barrels, most anything made to order.

Made custom rifles or at least barrels for guns that were built for most all of the top names in the shooting circles in the day. Ranked right in there with the rest of the top US custom barrel makers of the era,,Ackley, Buhmiller, Bliss Titus, ect.
Seems as though the business was sold out to one of the larger barrel makers in the 60's but I'm not really sure about that.
