I had been in the building business for over thirty-five years and have worked variously as Foreman, Superintendent, and Project Manager on a multitude of construction projects. Before this I ran my own general contracting company which specialized in restoration and renovation.For many years when I realized that there was an unfulfilled niche in my life. When asked by a friend to build him a wine cellar, I knew that this what I wanted to do. After building wine cellars in St. Louis as a side line, I decided to put a motorhome on the road, to travel from coast to coast to follow that dream. I now travel around the country in an American Eagle Motorhome seeing more of the country in a month than most people might see in a lifetime. Wine cellars, by now, have become extremely popular on both the East and West Coasts and the Midwest. So my company was devoted exclusively to the design, consultation, and construction of custom wine cellars. Now having built wine cellars for over 15 years, I am very fluent in the design, construction, and temperature control of wine cellars. I have built wine cellars have for stars, celebrities, sports figures, CEO's, and top restaurants across the country. I was one of those people that I now preach in my blogs and articles to new clients not to use. "Don't let your wine cellar be the first one that your contractor builds." I studied with as many manufactures as I could. I went to their plants all over the country, from Ohio to New Hampshire to California. . People even e-mailed in, telling them they saw and talked with me. The wineries and vineyards treated me as VIP. I never had to pay for any wine tasting, and was always given a bottle or two, sometimes a case to take with me. All the wines that were given to me, I would invite people, when I stopped, all to have a glass with me. When in some of these RV Resorts, everyone was always up for a glass of wine with the Winecellarguy. I choose to live anywhere my motorhome will take me. I could be eating lunch in Manhattan with a friend to building a wine cellar for a star or celebrity across the country.
