Who I am

My name is Joshua Braatz. I am the founder of Braatz Innovations and a skilled product designer with over 20 years of experience in mechanical design engineering, 3D modeling and design automation. Along with my professional background, I enjoy spending my free time indulging in various hobbies such as golfing, working on jeeps, and taking on projects at home. Additionally, I am happily married to a lovely wife who shares my passion for jeeps. Our household is further enriched by the delightful company of our beloved pets – a Great Dane, a cat, and a trio of charming Cochin chickens.
