  • Throughout school I didn't really have all that much direction.

  • I thought of the idea of going into the Military.

  • When I returned from overseas I returned with a back injury.

  • I really spent most of my time at home just kinda feeling broken.

  • A friend of mine got an electric bike. I built one up for myself,

  • and then suddenly I'm mobile again.

  • So I ended up starting this electric bike business,

  • and I knew that if I was to grow this business I was going to do it all on the web.

  • Recently we added the Vet-Led attribute.

  • We've actually seen an increase of business. Specifically from people that want to support Veteran-owned businesses.

  • The first year we sold about twenty-five bikes,

  • and last year we sold about a thousand.

  • Everybody that found us they found us on Google.

  • What I do today, it's very fulfilling. It's kind of a new mission for me.
