My name is Joel Hilden, and I’m the owner of JH Precision Sharpening in Wichita Falls, Texas.

Growing up in the Minneapolis area, I worked at my father’s metal fabrication business. Working with a handful of seasoned welders as a teenager toughened me up mentally and gave me a skillset after countless hours of sawing and shearing, grinding welds, sharpening tools, machining, etc. I also learned an appreciation for small business as I watched my dad handle all the different aspects of his small enterprise.

I’ve been fortunate to work in a variety of fields in my life. I’ve been in three different career fields in active and reserve U.S. Air Force positions, a business manager for a large defense contractor, a FINRA-licensed financial advisor, and also served as a consultant for a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather satellite program office. I feel that life is a process of learning and growing.

Now living in my adopted state of Texas, I started JH Precision Sharpening with the idea of helping others. I enjoy handing over your sharp tools that help you with your business, or make your hobby more enjoyable, or make it easier to prepare food for your family. The feeling of satisfaction and pride from a job well done makes this my favorite job so far in life.

Contact me today so I can transform your cutlery and tools into the effective instruments they were designed to be.
