Who inspires you to further your skills and your career in mobile electronics installation? Honestly, it's always been the big time installers out there. Growing up and seeing what the Biggs and Eldridges and Browns of the world were doing always caused an almost desperate desire to be that good. In the end, it all ends up boiling down to a competitive nature.
