WELCOME TO OUR SITE, THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING AND I AM HAPPY TO HAVE A CHANCE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. MY NAME IS PAUL ALAN JACOBS AND I AM A NATIVE ANGELINO. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INSPIRED BY THE GREAT DIVERSITY AND POWERFUL CREATIVE ENERGY THAT EMANATES FROM HERE. ADMITTEDLY, AS A TEENAGER, I JUST WANTED TO LEAVE BUT, AFTER BEING AWAY FOR A BIT AND HAVING HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MATURE, I REALIZED HOW LUCKY I WAS TO GROW UP HERE. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A STRONG CONNECTION TO ART AND WASN'T QUITE SURE HOW I WOULD EVOLVE INTO MY PART OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS. 

I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE INTRODUCED TO METAL FABRICATION, AT THE AGE OF 26, BY MY CLOSEST FRIEND. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE PROCESS AND KNEW THAT THIS WAS THE EVOLUTION OF ART THAT I WAS SEARCHING FOR. A FUNCTIONAL EXPRESSION AND FOR OVER 20 YEARS I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY AND CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE WITH SOME OF THE THE MOST TALENTED CRAFTSMEN, ARCHITECTS, DESIGNERS, ARTISTS AND BUILDERS THAT THIS GREAT CITY HAS TO OFFER.
