Summary

I have been an automotive enthusiast all my life which is why I included a picture of myself driving my first vehicle. I enjoy letting my creativity show when possible in coming up with new ideas to create something new. Customizing vehicles has always been a favorite and have fabricated and built two custom watercraft trailers. I have done some woodworking over the years but wouldn't say that I'm a craftsman in that area. I love working with my hands building and repairing things.

I am looking to do something new and different than what i have been doing. I would like to think that all of my experiences would be an asset to you and your company . I am also very interested in the van life and really like the way that your website portrays your operation in building of custom adventure vans.
