After spending more than a decade in the automotive-customization industry, he founded Allstar Tint & Alarms, where he works alongside other seasoned specialists to customize cars. Customers roll into either location for installation of an array of vehicle-personalizing modifications ranging from SolarGard window film by Saint Gobain to theft-deterring security systems to commercial-free satellite radio.
