Leaving this industry in 2014 and looking for a new adventure joined the ranks of Auto Crowd Group (a free to join network of Automotive, Marine & Aviation clubs) as the company COO in view to developing the platforms future onto the global stage.
Upon conversation with Jayson after the release of the song Transitions on how to further pursue the highlighted cause of PTSD in our Veterans, both decided it would be a great idea to combine forces. Bringing together peoples love of all things automotive and helping our country’s Veterans into what could potentially turn into a self sufficient charity, funded from an incredible meeting facility for Car, Motorcycle & Scooter enthusiasts across the Northwest and beyond, then the idea came to compliment this facility with a classic car & motorcycle restoration centre ran by and for Northwest Veterans to fund an onsite PTSD support centre.
