In-Wall Ready Cord

I invented the In-Wall Ready Cord because I was looking for a more convenient way to store extension cords and to have them readily available.

It seemed every time I needed an extension cord I had to find one. Sometimes the cord wasn’t long enough; other times it was too long (which can be a safety hazard in a garage or workshop); and all too often they were tangled and knotted. The final step was when I was finished with the cord, they had to be rolled up, tied, and stored somewhere.

I determined the only places I regularly used an extension cord were in my garage or workshop. I thought it would be so nice to be able to just pull one out of the wall. When I couldn't find one, I decided to make it myself.

I have several interests that have led to other invention, but to date have only patented the In-Wall Ready Cord.

I was born in Alabama, but was raised in Indiana. After high school, I joined the Marine Corps, and later began work as a carpenter. I ultimately moved to Arizona and started my own contracting business in 1979. I am still building houses today.
