What brought you to Faulkner County to
open a business/work?
Born and raised here and my dad has businesses and
does commercial and residential construction. One of
the businesses is a self storage company so the mobile
storage went right along with it. I have always helped
my dad with different things over the years with his
business and always knew when I got older that I would
come on board and be a part of the family business so we
decided to partner and add this to the storage company
last summer.
How did you get your idea for your business?
Mobile storage has always been something my
dad wanted to add to the business and we had the
opportunity to purchase CAMS in July of 2017 so I left
my current job and came on fulltime with the family
businesses to partner and manage the mobile storage
company.
What do you love most about working/living here?
Faulkner County is a thriving community and the citizens
in the community are very loyal to local businesses
To what do you attribute your success?
110% my dad. He has taught me everything I know and
has shown me what hard work truly is.
Do you have hobbies you want to share?
Being outdoors and trail riding my motorcycle.
How are you involved in your community?
Through giving to numerous charities and sponsoring
events such as Lip Sync for Life for the American Cancer
Society, Stuff the Bus for United Way, local school
activities, sponsoring Chamber events that bring business
leaders together to network such as Off the Clock,
Bowling for Business and the Business Expo as well as
supporting the homebuilders association.
Advice for someone just starting out?
Don’t get in over your head, Rome wasn’t built in a day
so be patient great things come with time.
