My genuine interest continuously grew towards keeping my vehicle meticulously clean by hand washing and examining the cleaning products used. I soon realized how the on‑going established process produced scratch‑free and glowing results every single time. Sundays became my favorite day — dedicated to perfecting those results.

Family and friends began asking for recommendations and help with their vehicles. As I started removing micro‑scratches from exteriors, memories of my father’s internship and his careful supervision came rushing back.

Heavily oxidized and water‑spotted boats became a favorite challenge. I look forward to capturing the disbelief on an owner’s face when they see their vessel restored. Earning their trust year after year is the ultimate reward.

In January 2023, I joined a restoration team in Chino, California to remove oxidation and scratches from a personal aircraft once owned by General Douglas MacArthur — the “Bataan.” The Constellation was massive, requiring eight hours a day of drum‑buffer work. During that project, additional aircraft bookings followed.

I worked alongside flight engineers, aircraft mechanics, and even my favorite aviator, Steve Hinton, participating in the Planes of Fame air races and shining warbirds between shows. After detailing hundreds of World War I and World War II aircraft, my passion for restoring and preserving these machines grew immensely.

Now the journey continues…
