Triumph Workshop provides the tools, knowledge, and connections to foster a community of creation, innovation, and success.

A community makerspace in the heart of Dallas, Triumph Workshop features a Metalshop, Woodshop, Innovation Lab, Artisan Space and Collaboration Areas.  Instructors teach tool-use and safety classes, and staff members are regularly available to answer questions. The facility is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to members who are hobbyists, entrepreneurs, students, and those learning trade skills. Although full access to Triumph Workshop requires a membership, most classes are open to the public and can be found on the class calendar.

While the equipment is state of the art and the facility is top-notch, the heart behind it all is what matters most. Triumph Financial established Triumph Workshop as a way to serve the city of Dallas by providing adult building trade education, hosting camps that expose young people to new opportunities, and establishing partnerships with nonprofit organizations that allow the bank to reach beyond the walls of Triumph Workshop. This makerspace is unique because although many things are made at Triumph Workshop, the most important thing created is a positive impact on the community.

Chris had a distinguished career in IT with Fidelity Investments and retired to start his own CNC and manufacturing company. Chris joined Triumph Workshop the day it opened, and became such a valuable asset that he was asked to come on board in an official capacity. Chris’ favorite part of Triumph Workshop is the woodshop and CNC router, and he really enjoys being around so many creative people each day. When not at Triumph Workshop, Chris can be found traveling with his wife, Anna May and their son and daughter-in-law.

Chris has said, “When leadership creates an environment where creativity, integrity, innovation, and good people meet, great things will naturally happen. This perfectly describes why this is a great place to work”
