• Setting roots in Indiana

  It was at the Indiana Fairgrounds I met my future Partner Doug, who was selling the same Merchandise that I was.  The eventually set us up side by side passing stuff back and forth that customers asked for.Eventually things at home fell apart,and I pulled my stuff out of the truck, Moved to Indianapolis, and threw in with Doug.

  Iwas after moving here at walmart in Strawtown Indiana, I bought a Purple Passion and 56 flashsider Hotwheelstook them up the road a half a mile thre them on the table for $5 and sold them within 5 minutes and i was Hooked. I'd always loved Hot Wheels as a kid now here i was hooked on them again.

  Once in Indy I got a job Managing a McDonalds. I lived, or slept i should say for the first month or so,in the TOYS R US Psarking lot. till it started getting cold.then Doug let me sleep in the boot of his chevy Citation, as it was Parked in his garage...
