Nate Mcclain started working on cars with his dad when he was 5. Eventually when he turned 15 and bought his first car he took pride in cleaning it. This like a lot of us leads to washing friends and family members cars for some side cash. Nate dabbled a little in the Ag machinery market before finding a love for doing Marine crafts. We dove into a little about the pros and cons of working by yourself vs. hiring staff. Nate and I also talk about where we see ourselves in the future.
