About Us
Caracara Metal is a small, family-owned business built on grit, craftsmanship, and purpose. We don’t outsource overseas or rely on mass manufacturers. Everything we sell is designed, cut, welded, and finished by hand—right here in Texas—by a family that cares deeply about the work we do.
We’re a crew of four: Ryan (husband, fabricator, and founder), Liz (wife, homeschool teacher, and glue of the operation), and our two kids, Connor and Nora. Ryan still works a full-time day job, and Liz does the most important work—raising and educating our kids at home. Every order is a team effort.
We personally assemble and ship virtually every part with the utmost pride and care from our small 344-square-foot workshop. Nearly everything we make is built to order, since our operation doesn’t have the space to keep a full inventory. That said, we’re committed to getting your order out as quickly as possible—without ever cutting corners.
We are incredibly grateful and blessed for every single order we receive. Your support helps provide for our family, pushes us one step closer to growing our business, and fuels our dream of expanding the team in the years to come.
Why Caracara Metal?
Caracara Metal is named after the Crested Caracara — a bold and unique bird my kids have always been fascinated by. It’s a bird of prey native to Texas, known for being smart, tough, and able to adapt to almost anything. It’s not your average bird — it stands out, survives, and figures things out.
That spirit really clicked with me. Metalworking takes the same kind of mindset—turning raw materials into something strong, useful, and built to last. Every piece I make reflects that: from clean cuts to solid welds, it’s all about doing the job right.
Most of all, Caracara Metal is rooted in family. My kids love for this bird sparked the name, and it’s grown into a business built on care, craft, and quality. Whether it’s a sign, a planter, or something completely custom, I build it with pride and purpose.
