Jimmy
is the wizard behind all of the magic. It's his inspiration that
initiates each project. His years of experience and unique sense
of humor, capped off by all of the gang that make up the list of cohorts
at Jimmy Shine, enable him to create some of the most ah-inspiring paint
jobs in the country. He has been autographing custom jobs for our
local Harley-Davidson dealer lately. Quite a compliment when
Harley comes knocking.

Then there's Jimmy Jr.,
our Pauly in the
making. He's our youthful point of view that keeps the rest of
them sane--to a degree. He spends most of his days at the shop,
complaining about his boss, trying to bring him up a century. The
rest of his time is spent at Medaille College where he's studying
Business Management. Some day, things will be managed his way,
like it or not. Jim Jr. is busy these days, taking over much at the
shop for the old man... Can't wait to see what has rubbed off and
what inspiration comes naturally. May be quite impressive.
Apples don't fall far from trees. And if he inherited any talent
from Jim Sr. and applies today's technology, it could be a treat for all
of us to behold.

Second, the baby of the
family, the multi-tasker, the hardest working woman we know, is Jenna.
She's the level-headed, "get'er done" type, with the most common sense
of all of them. It must be a woman thing... We miss her
around the shop--she's in Everett, Washington, proudly serving her
family and this country as a Master at Arms in the US Navy.

Bob. He's our
resident overseer. He picks out the right and the wrong of everything
we do. His opinion is free, and extremely valuable. Years of
knowledge give him the right to critique all work. He's the most
particular one around, and keeps us on the straight and narrow. Things
get done and get done right. Or else...
A Man after my own heart...

Tommy is next. He's our resident comedian. But he's like a
piece of the furniture that has earned his spot. Don't know what
we'd do without him, besides have a happy day... We call him the shop
manager. No salary involved, but lots of title. Would have
the biggest, corner, window office available. He questions all we
do, never satisfied. Keeps us pushing the envelope. If we
could impress him, well, we'd be retired on the Riviera.

Mike
Abbott is another of our crew. In our jail, he's Big Red, the CO. He
maintains order, legality and keeps out the rifraft. Okay, maybe not.
But he keeps things in line. He's mechanically gifted, experienced and
very generous with his visions and knowledge.

Our shop is conveniently located at 5107 Southwestern Blvd. in Hamburg, NY.
Stop by any time to meet the crew.
