Married, Supporting & sometimes even
"putting up with" Carl since 2003.
With our house across the street behind the shop, she is never far away!
Originally from Baltimore MD where they met while Carl was DJing in country bars when he was stationed at Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
Some day we'll finally get her Mustang Convertible done for her to cruise around in style.
I LOVE YOU BABY!

Mom and Dad Spend winters here in Geneva and summers back home in New England. Dad has been an integral part of renovation and building to make the dream come true.
Mom loves giving tours and bragging about her baby boy. They have never met a stranger. They spend their time traveling the country on their HD Trike customized by Carl. We ALL love having them around.
They bought and renovated the old Geneva Fire House a few doors down from the shop.
The motto here is, "the harder Dad works, the less Carl owes him"
