Colton Dukat | Co-founder of Phoenician Engineering
I co-founded Phoenician Engineering, LLC in 2014 with my brother Dane Dukat. Dane and I have been awarded 10 patents and currently sell our product line in over 14 countries. We have been fortunate enough to work with some of the biggest names in music and entertainment as well as industry professionals in various collaborations and joint ventures. Most importantly, we feel Phoenician represents the metaphorical rebirth of public perception and professionalism when it comes to ancillary product quality and efficacy.
