Our Team
Dave and Patrick are both outdoor enthusiasts and award winning motorsports builders. Beyond motorsports, they specialize in custom design & fabrication projects for businesses, inventors, and product developers.
As business partners, they got their start as founders of the non-profit group Greenspeed Research in Boise, Idaho. Greenspeed Research hit the national stage while taking multiple world records with their custom built, renewable energy, truck in the C/DT class at El Mirage and the Bonneville Salt Flats. Racing proved to be the ultimate test of their fabrication and design techniques and sharpened every skill set they bring to you today.
Enter Versus. The success of their non-profit led to the creation of a new venture in 2014 as requests for custom fabrication and solutions started to hit their calendars and design books. They now spend full time in design and fabrication for business people and custom builders.
