My best friend, Kyle, and I started our parent company, CK Automotive, when we were 21 years old in a small shop at his home. For the first couple of years, I continued working full-time at Pierce Manufacturing. Those years were filled with long days of spraying and working third shift at Pierce, but every minute of lost sleep was worth it.

Eventually, I was able to leave Pierce, and Kyle and I decided to dissolve our partnership on great terms. That’s when Bedliner Specialists And Protective Coatings was born. I moved from that shop to my uncle’s shop, TJ’s Auto Body, where I had a small corner in the back to work from.

During that time, my business really took off, creating the need for me to purchase my own, larger shop, where we are still located today. Twenty years later, we’re still in business, thanks to all of our loyal customers!

We are a small business with a limited team, and when you visit our shop, you’ll still find me personally working on every project that comes through our doors.

I was born and raised in Freedom, WI. It was important to me to keep my business here and build my adult life in the community alongside my daughter, Lili, my girlfriend, Kenlyn, and our two dogs, Puck and Brantley. Outside of work, you’ll find me spending time with my family, playing pool, or continuing my family’s long-standing tradition of racing.

I believe family is the most important part of life, and I treat my business and customers like my own family. You can rest assured that your vehicles will be taken care of as if they were my own.

My family and I can’t express our gratitude enough to everyone who has given us their business over the years. We have enjoyed working with you for the past 23 years and hope to continue doing so for many years to come.
