About

When you’re frustrated by off-the-shelf products that don’t quite solve your problem, it can feel like you’re left to figure things out on your own. That’s why I started Venture208—to help people like you get solutions that actually work in the real world.

I bring over a decade of additive manufacturing experience, 25 years in the automotive and manufacturing industries, and a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Technology. As an Extra Class ham radio operator, I’ve lived the same challenges you face, and I’ve spent years designing practical fixes for them.

Since 2019, Venture208 has grown from a small side project into a trusted workshop in North Idaho, with more than 10,000 products sold and a steady stream of 5-star reviews. Every part is designed, produced, and inspected in-house—by me personally—on a fleet of carefully maintained additive manufacturing systems. Quality isn’t just a promise; it’s my process.

Here’s how I help:

Ham Radio Solutions – mounts and storage systems designed by a fellow operator who knows your frustrations.

Mug Buddy Systems – cup holders engineered for big mugs and real commutes.

Trailer Hitch Covers – rugged, custom designs that make your vehicle stand out, while highlighting humor and personal identity.

When you choose Venture208, you’re not just buying a product—you’re partnering with someone who knows the industries, the radios, and the manufacturing process from the inside out.  Curious? Feel free to peruse the rave reviews on my Etsy store.

If you’re ready to solve a problem (and maybe smile along the way), I’d be honored to help.

Gratefully,

Doug
