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.
