Spring Visit with Sandman

In my visit with him i got to hear stories of cool projects that he continues to work on even though he can't get around as well any more. He has awesome ideas that are outside the box an turn out amazing. As he showed me some of them it was amazing the detail and passion that drives him. Every little detail that is put into each one. His appreciation for them is inexpressible. You can see some of it in his three two wheel drive pulling trucks that he still owns. Or the classic cars that he has been working on, or the 2 wheel standers that are in the shop.

The part though that meant to me the most is he always is wanting to share from his experience in life so others can learn from it. His passion to mentor and teach young men trades, life lessons and show them he really cares what happens in their lives. Carl has been example though his providing Tractor Safety classes, support in the Race Against Drugs and other programs that reach out to youth.

To me Carl is leaving a legacy for others to remember and be effected beyond his years. It has effected my life with his focus on others, careing, teaching, helping. I hope that I can live my life in that way as well. Nothing is better than learning and wanting to pass that knowledge on. Sometimes we have to figure things out for ourselves, but we can learn a lot from those who are examples and live strong lives.

Carl has been a great friend over the years and it was great to catch up, hear stories, and check out his collection of custom cars and trucks. It’s always worth the trip. He does have some custom vehicles for sale right now if you are looking. Check out his website to see more of what he has and read about the projects he has been working on.
