The Cars that Made America

Every set/production I have worked on has been special to me. (Clearly, since I post about each and every one of them) I always learn something new whether it’s how to correctly paint walls or driving a cube truck. I meet some of the world’s coolest people, both cast and crew. And I get to do amazing things that leave me feeling like anything is possible like driving alone across the country or finding a cop car to rent when I was only tasked to find the top bar lights.  

The Cars that Made America is the one I am definitely the proudest of because it was fun but also extremely challenging. There were days when I wanted to quit and I believed I wasn’t cut out for this life. First of all, the fact that it was for one month made it the longest gig for me. I’m also no stranger to 16 hour days but the commute to and from RI made it harder. I also had to drive a 15 passenger van, which was only nerve racking when you have the execs in your vehicle and the RI streets are very narrow.

But then I would show up and see that I would get to work in some of the coolest/creepiest buildings. I got to see cars that I never thought I would see in person let alone get to touch like Ford’s Model T and the Delorean and all of my frustrations would disappear because I knew this was a once in a lifetime experience. I developed real friendships with both the cast and crew. Plus, I am a history buff and learning about this subject was equally intriguing.

After seeing the finished product on the History Channel and my name in the credits, I can say it was all worth it and I’m more than ready to do this full time. No doubt.
