I had been an automotive enthusiast for over 20 years. My father owned a body shop which is where the ideas and passion really started. The first time I watched a bumper taken off an old Porsche 911 I had a million ideas of what could be done. I worked in dealerships and independent shops for most of my life taking every opportunity to learn every trick to the trade that I could. I am certified with Chevrolet, Ford , Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, Honda/Acura, Toyota/Lexus, Mercedes and BMW. With that said I have experience working on all makes and models on the road. Customizing vehicles was always a passion of mine but i was always stuck managing a shop or figuring out the problematic drivability or electrical concerns on customer vehicles. Which I have always been very good and that intern gives me a leg up in the customization world. After working for other shops and never being really happy with my career due to the fact I really wanted to customize but also wanted to continue repairing vehicles because that is what keeps me up to date on the latest vehicle and improvements. So I figured it was time to take that leap of faith and continue to service both my regular service customers, my true car enthusiast and assist in outfiting local law enforcement vehicles! After all of that it didn’t take long to realize that my passion to help others get what they want quickly was taken advantage of! Due to unforeseen medical issues making Me have to take a break this is now just a memory. Although through out all of the struggles my family and I have had to overcome the main thing I learned is just because they call you family doesn’t mean they really are. When I wasn’t there to give them doscounted or affordable work they never looked back , checked in or attempted to help out my family during their time of need. I was suddenly this evil person after 2 years of being their #1. It was gods way of showing me that spending 15-20 hours a day 6-7 days a week in the shop for others that really didn’t care for any of us was the wrong path. All that time I missed with my wife and kids is something I’ll never get back. Memories lost , relationships with people that truly love me were damaged but they were there for me day in and day out doing whatever it took to help move me along. There was a very big lesson that came out of it and I am blessed to still be here to enjoy who really matters. Life is short so enjoy it while you can with your real family , give your wife and kids the time they deserve because honestly you are just a number or fall boy for all the others. if they have nothing to offer you but hang around because of what you can do for or give them then look closely at that relationship before you run out of time to be with the real people in your life ! With that said this page is still up for visitors to check out the crazy builds that consumed almost 3 years of my life! One last lesson if your ever in a similar situation there will be that one that seems to have stayed true and will be patient because they know your the best and/or want to manipulate the situation to get what they want. As a human and Buisness owner you’ll have the urge to go above and beyond for that person to prove a point and show everyone your not the person other said you are. In reality that’s self greed and will end the same way the others did. You’ll give and do for that person , no expense spared still loosing money and mainly time with your loved ones to find out that 1 was no different than the others. When it’s all said and done you were being selfish and holding on to straws hoping for something that’ll never come. if you’ve given it your all , made sacrifices, lost valuable time then disaster strikes leave it all behind and close that chapter of life completely. That is the only way you will be able to move forward and enjoy the short time you have in life !
