Our Story

The van Graan Story

I moved to the United States from my native country of South Africa as a 17 year old boy. I set out to seek my fortune as so many of my ancestors have done. I did not know what God had in store for me but He had my path planned out before I was born. I Met my lovely wife Domonica while attending Bluefield college (now Bluefield University). I followed her after graduation to our nation's capital where we got married and started our family. That was 22 years ago and I still love her more than life itself. We are blessed with three children, Jack (currently attending Belmont Abbey College on a rugby scholarship), Grayson, and Reagan.

I work in the HVAC industry and have been with the same company for 13 years. I coach high school rugby in my spare time but I needed a creative outlet. I really enjoy building cool stuff and I really enjoy repurposing any old object and giving it new life.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our site. Please let me know if there is something special we can build for you.

JG, Dom, Jack, Grayson, Reagan, and Rugger the wonder pup.
