Tell us about your career before EPIC?  I went to NDSCS for my associate’s degree in collision repair. I started my career working for Body Shop by Fritz for a few years.  I was then approached to open an auto body supply store in St. Cloud, Minnesota in 1994. My wife and I moved there for about a year, but with the rental houses we owned in Fargo we knew that this was our forever home. We moved back to Fargo and I opened West Fargo Auto Body and Glass – owned and operated that until I sold it. My next venture was joining Todd and the EPIC team.  Throughout my adult life, I have flipped real estate for many years and also work as a realtor under Trilogy.  I started in the development world and it just seems that I can’t get enough of doing this type of work.
