I first became involved with LST in January 2014 when Radar contacted me about making awards for the show. I was just starting off my company, , but he had heard of a couple jobs I had done and decided to give me a chance. The timeline was tight, and I had never taken on a job of this scope. I gave them my word, made it happen, flew down to , and I鈥檝e been hooked since. We鈥檝e stepped up the award size, quantity and design from 2014 up until this latest round for 2017, which even brought out the 鈥渢rophy hunter鈥� mentality in guys who said they never had it before. This year involved shipping a 4-foot by 4-foot by 2-foot wood crate, with nearly 700lbs of billet trophies. It鈥檚 a great feeling when something you make can get so many people excited about their hobby, hanging out with friends, and a show. I trailered my personal project, a bagged and supercharged 2002 S10, to the show in 2016 to claim the personal goal of being the 鈥淔irst Canadian鈥�. An unforgettable 7700km (4800mi) trip, to a show that has become so much more than a weekend truck show to me, as the two guys who put it on have welcomed me into the 鈥淟ST Family鈥� and have become incredible friends.
