Building Vehicles, Construction, new and remodeling
I currently own over 20 vehicles. I build and create custom tunes for vehicles. I have extensive knowledge of vehicles including how they are stolen and how subjects falsely purchase vehicles with the intent of not paying for them.
Before becoming a police officer I worked for a construction company framing new homes and remodeling homes. I continue to work as a contractor on the side with my brother who owns Borderline Architecture in Lowell Indiana.
