As a kid I worked the common grocery store job as a bagger

After that I trained to be a LockSmith. (Yes, I'm a certified Master Lock Smith and Safe Tech)

I ran a company and then started my own Lock Smith shop.

While in business I gained a passion for small business and started a parts distribution company from the ground up. I did this while helping another Lock business, teaching locks on the weekends, and playing around in a locksmith distribution warehouse.

The locksmith stuff finally faded out do to the performance parts business and it's success.

I couldn't just have one job, while working with Autobahn Wholesale I started working with NOPI as well.

All that was done between the ages of 21-24

My fist little girl came along and I started seeing life differently. I moved back home with my wife from Atlanta and started building Street Rods until I could finish school

Guess what? I'm still in school. I've been in school for almost 10 years now.

I am now a Pastor, a Motivational Speaker, a Writer, and I own GrudgeBike.com which I'm hoping to see become another Distribution company. The last two I have been involved in are now multi-million dollar businesses.

I really have to thank both DAB and Rubberside Down for bringing some humor into this depressing Monday. Gave me a good laugh, never take ourselves to seriously. When I was fed up with one of my jobs one of my peers had told me if he was going to start a new career he wanted to drive a trash truck. No pressure and he got first pick.
