CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
I had worked for so many months trying to make my car care product Solution Finish and had so many failures, and a miracle finally happened! I put certain chemicals in a glass a certain way, and it turned out to be incredible! I tried it on all my test products, and it worked so well. It’s a fantastic product, but I’m continuing to improve it. I will soon have the right chemicals to make it have more UV protection.
FIRST SPECIAL VEHICLE
The first special car I had was my first car. I worked construction every summer from an early age. I saved my money, and at age 14, I bought a 1962 Lincoln Continental.
BEST AUTOMOTIVE ADVICE
The best automotive advice I’ve received is, “Do not restore a vehicle with the expectation of making money.”
