SPECIAL THANKS FROM THE OWNER: “First off, I would like to thank my wife; I couldn’t have gotten it done without her support! I would also like to thank my brother Billy Vowell for all the help and my dad Danny Vowell, my brother Neil Smith, Diego over at A&K and all my boys from BodyDropInc that lent a helping hand when needed.”
