North Carolina born and been here all my life except for trips getting wrecks to be reworked. I worked a couple of years for a man in his body shop was giving him 60% of what I was making so I went out on my own. I have move three times always into a bigger shop. I now have two shops because now I mostly do restore and it ties up a lot of space so the other one turns out the fast jobs. I also have a shop here at the house to piddle on a 1969 Chevy truck I am restoring since I am now offically retired.
Sold out and takin it easy.

I have three kids all have left the nest. On girl 34 one boy 32 and another girl 31. Between them I am blessed with 11 of the greatest Grandkids and I thought there would nothing bring so much joy into my life as they have. That is one reason I don't work like a dog no more so I can spend some time with them. The word is not final yet but I am hearing through the kudzu vine that I may be a Greatgrandpa. I am just 53 and a Grandpa but a great one that makes me feel ooold.
I have now become a Great Grandpa.
