Default Joining Budnik Wheels

Well, I was so excited, I had to share with all of you. I hang out here in the Appearance Section so thought this would be the best place to share the good news.

Alan Budnik called me about two weeks ago to come in and interview to join his team. After two, one hour long interviews, I got the call this last Friday. I'll be the newest addition to the Budnik Wheels team Monday, March 29th. I will mainly be sales, and generally helping out with day to day operations and such, but should be alot of fun.

I'll also be traveling with them to shows to work the Budnik booths and exhibits, so all of you guys who do attend SEMA, and GoodGuys, etc., come by the booth and say hi!

I'm so excited, I had to share.

Oh, before anyone asks, I don't know anything about perks, and discounts, etc. as of yet.

Thanks for letting me share,
Jon

I don't own and Budnik wheels right now, but one of my very favorite shirts is a Budnik shirt that I bought about 10 years ago at a car show.....I'll be in the mood to purchase a new one soon!
