Livelihood? Buying and selling special interest automobiles. I’ve been doing this since I was about 7. I started out selling bicycles and lawnmowers.

Famous customers? I’ve sold cars to Kirstie Alley and John Travolta. I sold him a ’71 Mercedes Roadster. I sold her a ’40 Ford sedan. She’s a cool chick.

What’s it like living and working on 1A? I pick up dogs, strays – people – continuously here.

What music do you listen to? Roy Orbison stuff. BJ Thomas, “The Eyes of a New York.”

What was the last movie you saw? “King Kong.”

Who cuts your hair? Alberta. Twelve bucks. Two dollars tip.

Do you like what you do? Every day here for me is like going to the circus.

Life advice? Don’t take it so seriously.
