Hello Jag forums.. you all have been nice enough to let me leach and troll this awesome forum now for a little while now utilizing
this amazing brain trust to sure up my knowledge on my platform. Thank you all so much!
My name is Bradford I live in North Carolina, USA in the mountains, in a little town called Hendersonville.
I moved my family hear after i got tired of the paper chase, to dial it back, slow down a bit and enjoy time with my dad who sadly had passed two months ago from non-hodgkin's. Long battle so no sadness only relief and a celebration of life in his honor with my kids to live a healthy small town lifestyle. Polar opposite of how I was raised 40 plus years ago in long island New York. I have an extensive background in the Specialty Construction Trades constantly overtaking progressively senior roles of increasing responsibilities with a specialization in Environmental Health & Safety. Deep background in industrial coating and high steel modification, including bridges, water tanks, telecom towers and buildings, working in compliance with OSHA, NIOSH, EPA, CDC, State and Federal regulations as well as my local building codes. I have managed work crews, materials, compliance paperwork and safety briefings.
A little about me... personally speaking.
With a loving, supportive wife, three young children and an elderly mother in law to care for, I took a leap. I started college, not as a teenager, but with many decades of hard knocks under my belt, to follow my dream. I have scraped by, applied and won educational grants, worked LONG hours, slept little to none and succeeded in educating myself in every aspect of my industry and business. I am proud of myself and what I have thus far accomplished. There are other companies out there that do some aspects of Bio-Hazard. I on the other hand, am educated, qualified and certified to cover all of it. Most people are unaware, and hopefully won't have the need, to call a Bio-Hazard company to "clean up" a horrible scene. Who thinks of that? My company handles all of it, including repairing their home and counseling for the affected family members. Success has taken me a long time, I use all my attributes to set me apart, and above any of the glorified mop
and bucket sub out build post~janitorial style Construction
companies.. but most important is now I keep it Small so I can spend as much time possible with my family..
I have lost my A$$ in the past struggling to own and operate a large but underfunded renovation business for "forever" many years, Without a solid partner
then and the lack of capital my business finally failed, this even With my affiliations to the
American Bio-Recovery Association(ABRA) and National Institute of Decontamination
Specialists(NIDS),, and even though I was able to give my customer base the most up to date
techniques and provided them with the most environmentally safe Bio-Hazardous
solutions for crime scene, trauma, accidental or natural death. I was WAY under funded,,,, LIFE is a four letter word.
I am however proud of my failures. I helped raise the standard of care offered in my unique
industry giving me then the upper hand against my competitors. BUT....Without money in the
pipeline I was forced to play the cards dealt to me. I eventually gave it all up to get away from both
the austerity and the emotional burden surrounding the bio industries. Moving forward
now free to focus on the types of construction that bring joy to people's lives and that
which is lucrative. And no I do not have anything to say about this Covid-19 except wash your ****'s and be diligent I know that the worst is yet to come This virus is novel (transmits from animal to human,, like bird flu ,, swine flu etc..) It only attacks the RNA... scary part is understanding that the sequencing is not known by the human immune system IE our bodies don't know how to fight it . Its "slippery" a lung eater and its mutating fast AF* LISTEN to the voice of experience the truth is we need to embrace social isolation before it mutates to the point we all are victim.... PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT ***UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE PLEASE STAY HOME AND WORK ON YOUR JAGUARS***

Happy On The Daily- I bought a 2001 XKR BRG with 70k










It supposedly needed some coils when advertised but......instead was a total basket case- lol Only god knows how I love a good project and Somehow the silver[stone]lining in my xkr storm cloud is that have my wife convinced that I'm using it for advertisement for my company. That's right my sweet loving wife has allowed me to shoot the lock off my wallet (in her purse) as to build a flamboyant drift car we can take to local shows and amateur events &&& I let my 17 year old get some seat time so he isn't off smoking dope with his friends in his free time, he spends his time instead waiting for me to die as to inherit all my toys lmfao... We have the R torn down and its in the process of getting new timing etc... etc.. Crazy plans for this machine Talking 'Bout two tires spittin' fire Big ol' 12' wide 20's aggressively poking out of huge arches lots of aero all caged and raged a ton of mods are planed..... But I digress I'm putting my company logo all over the thing so Shhhhhhh!!!!! mums the word in case my wife hears about this "ITS ALL FOR ADVERTISEMENT OF THE COMPANY"lol yea honey i said with a smile "it could help us earn business" through grass roots word of mouth...
