![]() ![]() Taking out the ad in Excellence Magazine really launched the business. I’m not one that ever gives up so from day one, I knew that it was going to be a successful long term business but there were times along the way where I was questioning my gutsiness, I guess, in rolling the dice because it wasn’t just one time where I rolled the dice with monetary decisions like that. I would say that I always knew that I would never give up. I rolled the dice along the way and it has paid off. From day one, it was always rolling the dice. What were some of the risks you faced when you launched your business?įrom day one, it was a risk because I had a decision to make from my first month in business, such as “do I make my mortgage payment or do I take an ad out in a magazine?” I chose to take an ad out in the magazine over my mortgage payment.

I think the perfect storm coverage and there were people that wanted to spend good money on these great cars. Plus, I think it also happened around the time where the client base was younger who were buying the cars.

That really was the beginning of what I would say really the beginning of the evolution of Porsche as it is today. The big boom of my business started in 2001 when the birth of the 996 turbo came out. I started developing products specifically through the 930 because that was kind of my passion at the time and later moved on to the 964 and 993s and started developing products for each of those vehicles. In the interim, I was selling other people’s products but while I was selling other people’s products, I was also developing my own products. I actually worked through another company before I ever started my own business and in the beginning of the company, I started developing products.
