Ben Fife is the owner and creative at Westward Leather Company out of Spokane, WA. His passion for beautiful products that last a lifetime is absolute. You can see how much he cares when you experience any of the products he makes. His vision and care are unrivaled. His love for his work and community shines brightly as does anyone who encounters his presence. 
Spokane is lucky to have someone like Ben. I would highly recommend taking a gander at his products which are more like art pieces.
