I've met Collin at FFR, have been to his house where he works from too.

Very nice guy, and his daughter is together with him in business.

I have not had work done or know his close clients, so I cannot comment on his workmanship as I don't have first hand experience, but I would gladly reccomend him to anyone in that area. I'm sure he knows what he's donig when it comes to ACVW's.

Just my 2cents worth.
