Listen to Rick Esterly of Stitchwurx on NC Shop Talk!

September 10, 2024 By Nadeem Muaddi

The Hog Ring - Listen to Rick Esterly of Stitchwurx on NC Shop Talk!

Tune in to the latest episode of NC Shop Talk to hear Rick Esterly of Stitchwurx in Idaho talk about his exceptional journey from dropping out of high school to building an elite auto upholstery shop.

NC Shop Talk is the industry’s first podcast. It’s hosted by Mal Maher of NC Carpet Binding & Equipment.

On the podcast, Rick opens up about his nontraditional path to success, how he fuses old-school work ethic with new-school tech, winning “NC Auto Interior of the Year” and why he says awards don’t fuel him anymore. This is not an episode you want to miss!

Top 1% Builder is Simple & Complicated with Stitchwurx

From quitting school at 16 to gracing the pages of Sports Illustrated, Rick Esterly’s journey to becoming a top 1% auto upholstery craftsman is far from conventional. Growing up in North Idaho, Rick felt the call of the great outdoors more than the classroom. BMX racing and hanging with older car enthusiasts eventually led him to drop out and pursue audio installation full time. But it was the challenge of making custom interior panels look factory that really revved his engine. Fast forward through failed shop attempts, debilitating injuries and throwing away his own trophies, Rick’s relentless drive has made him a force in the industry.
