I was taking engineering classis in high school then I bought a mini truckin mag one day when I was like 16 and was hooked on minis since that day, I was going to go to school to be an aerospace engineer haha. I started building my explorer when I was like 18 taught myself how to mig weld then started helping my friends build their trucks. I started working at a Ford dealer in the parts department and then moved into the body shop when I started going to school for mechanical engneering. While taking those classes and working for the ford dealer and a small local custom shop part time, I took some night welding classes for TIG and MIG and while I was in those I took my MIG certification with only like 3 days of MIG class just refining my self taught technique. Somewhere around that time I started going to the library and reading every business book I could get my hands on read them all, went to some local SBA meetings and took one basic business course. I started Illusive Design & Fabrications when I was 21 and july 1st of this year I will have been in business for 4 years now, so theres the story of my life haha. And to think my high school punk band never went anywhere so this is where I ended up.
