About Me

I'm a divorced man, age 52, living alone in Albion, Indiana.  I'm an enthusiast of classic cars in general, and post-WWII Ford Motor Company products in particular.  Over the past four years, I cruised the garage sales and estate auctions to find inventory to resell on eBay.  Now, I have an LLC and I'm in the process of getting my company up to speed.  "W Brothers Motorcycle Recyclers LLC" will sell used motorcycles from a showroom, sell motorcycle parts on eBay removed from wrecked bikes bought from insurance companies, and have a project car or two in the works for eventual resale.  It'll be a two-man shop at first with my brother and myself doing everything we can to turn a successful profit.

Both my parents have passed away; Mom died on July 11, 1999 and Dad passed on January 22, 2009.  My brother Jim lives in Kendallville, Indiana and we know it's just him and me now.  I'm on good terms with my ex-wife Nancy; our divorce was bloodless and I'm thankful for that.  My daughter Jennifer is 26 years old and the mother of my three grandsons Corey, Juan and Jorge.  My son John III is 24 and has been reunited with me after an estragement of nearly four years.  I haven't had a woman in my life for nearly six years, but I'm pretty much okay with that.  Life is pretty good for me at the moment and is looking to get even better once my company is going.
