McDonald, H.L.

Trim and Upholstery Instructor

My name is H.L. McDonald. I grew up in Fort Myers, Florida. I spent the first part of my life in my father's trim shop, cleaning floors and helping with small upholstery jobs. We moved to Laramie, Wyoming when I was 17, I started at WyoTech at 18 where I took Collision and Refinishing and ASM. I went into the Army as an infantryman for 3 years. I moved back to Laramie and took Street Rod at WyoTech. After that I moved to South Dakota and welded on different types of things; railcars, farm equipment, and aluminum trailers. After about 6 years I moved back to Laramie, where I started my own Upholstery shop for the past 5 years. Now I teach Trim and Upholstery with the best trimmer ever, Mac McDonald.
