I was a freshman in high school; we had a teacher that had an old hacker. He came to me and wanted to know if I'd be interested in fixing this car for him.
I went about learning how to shape metal and different things like that. I found some of the old timers, I had them train me in what they used to call feeding metal. And then I found another guy who knew how to work lead, different things like that.
And I took on the job and I did it and it turned out great. He referred other people to me. Then I got a small shop and then I got a bigger shop and by the time I was a senior, in high school, I had an 11K square foot shop, which is considerably bigger than what I own today. I had 23 people on my payroll and we did almost $1 million in gross sales.
