Owner / Operator
You talk to Jeff. The machinist.
Jeff Hooper has spent 29 years solving the machining problems other shops turn away — complex geometry, reverse engineering, obsolete parts, and tight-tolerance work that demands real experience.
When you call Hooper Machine & Design, you talk to Jeff. Not a sales rep. Not a project manager. The machinist. That means faster answers, fewer mistakes, and a partner who actually understands your problem.
Whether you need a one-off prototype, a short production run, or a part that no longer exists anywhere — bring it here.
