Hello, I just got home from Kansas City. As of this weekend, I am officially a member of Team JBL. The Beast has been retired. We are building a new Bronco which will be out for Spring Break Nationals - we hope. The Rig is on its way back to Phoenix where it will be re-done and when you see it again, it will also be JBL.

Thank you Doug. As you know, we all change as time does. It was time for me to do something else with my life. Stillwater Designs is a good company with wonderful people and very good products.
I am excited about becoming a part of Team JBL. A lot of neat things are planned for the future by JBL and I am going to be part of it! I will have a new bronco out next season with JBL in it and we will be competing.
I do have a couple of pictures posted on my web stie - teamgates.org - of the new bronco in its very basic beginning. I believe the pics are under the news section.

Me Too! I will always remember that Beast..it was a true work of art - even if it was mine. The biggest mistake I ever made was permitting it to be destroyed. Oh well, we learn by our mistakes..I hope.

(sniff sniff) Do I smell a new JBL Bronco with 8 6000Gti's (48,000 watts) and again, 48 subs? heeheh sorry ma, had to joke about it.
Glad to see you changing brands as does everyone from time to time, other people change more times then others. You had a great road in the past with Kicker and they treated you with respect. I hope JBL does the same for you in the future.
I am fortunate to know you on another level and to have seen your progress over the last 5 years. Everything you have done has been for a positive thing for the Car Audio Industry.......and for yourself. If you didnt like how one company was treating you you left, if you liked how another brand treated you and your crew you gave them the most advertising you could ever do along with respect.
To me you are a person that anyone could love and enjoy being around. Keep up the good work. Much luck to your new project and season next year.
