About F.D Leatherworks:
“My name is Bryan Mathis, I have made a full time career of the Fire Service since getting out of High School in 1989. I currently work for the City of Orlando Fire Department , where I have been since 1998.
In 1998 I began playing with leatherwork, which was something I had always wanted to do but finally did after seeing some of the radio straps the guys were wearing. I started making a few for the guys I was on shift with and then …boom…business exploded! I love going to the gym , long distance tour biking , spending time with the wife , kids (although they are grown) and friends , and traveling. This has always been a part time gig for me and I have started and stopped several times for numerous reasons , the most recent break was after the passing of my sister Shelley from Breast cancer in January 2013…at the time the business was named FD Leather. I am hoping to make this more of a full time job the closer I get to retirement from the F.D.Â
