ALAN RUE is a lifelong Ohioan and has been a Lakewood resident for over 20 years. While attending Baldwin Wallace University, Alan learned clock repair and maintenance working under Rudi Kamper & Klaus Ludwig of Suburban Clock in Berea. During his career in the IT/telecommunications industry, Alan’s love of clock maintenance and repair grew as he worked on his own clock collection and occasionally
repaired clocks for friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers. These years of passion have brought the skills, tools, and equipment needed to perform professional clock repair. Thus Lakewood Clock Repair was born. ANDREW BRACKEN was fascinated with clocks since he was a child. Beginning in early 2003, he started tinkering with clocks in his parents’ basement and soon learned he could successfully repair them. This blossomed into a rewarding hobby/side hustle until he was hired by Suburban Clock in 2021. There, he quickly honed his skills and gained more knowledge and experience, and promotion to Repair Supervisor. Looking for new opportunities, Andrew joined Lakewood Clock Repair in February 2024. Andrew brings skill sets that will permit Lakewood Clock Repair to grow and expand its service offerings.
