Well, after being in the Manufactured home buisness and selling Martys home ( managing a mobile home lot) I was ready to get out from my desk and work with my hands again. So a friend of mine was getting out of the CC and buisness so I took the plunge....


-If not a carpet cleaner, then what would you be doing for scratch?

Good questions....made a lotta money selling wobble boxes...(Mobile homes)
Seriously charter boat Captain.


-Where was your business five years ago and where will it be five years from now?

5 years ago I was in my growing pains and still learning the ropes of what actually works in advertising and tweaking my P&L. 5 years from now I will be debt free in our buisness.


-Who do you emulate in this industry and why?

Ken Snow..nuff said.


-How many employees and how many vans?

8-employees and 7 vans


-How have the Boards helped your biz?

Its been a learning experince at first, wading through the BS and hucksters. After trial and error I know who to listen to and trust. I have learned alot from, tweaking the TM and what chems actually work. I really enjoy getting first hand look at the toys and equipment before my competition does.
