So after a few years of working regular type jobs I decided that in the middle of the recession I was going to look for a job I actually enjoyed and could be passionate about. To make a long story short I ended up being hired by Ben Schaffer, a guy who I've known and respected for years. So after driving 3200 miles with all my earthly posessions in the back of my Crown Vic I have now started working for Bespoke Ventures in Los Angeles. I'm super happy with the company and they are amazingly good at every aspect of what they do. If anybody is even considering any JDM parts you need to give these guys a call.
In any case, the reason I posted this is to tell people that there are still opportunities available, sometimes even right under your nose. Just don't sell yourself short.
