Travis Jackson
Travis has been working on cars since childhood. His grandpa was one of those guys who could make a tin can run & taught him as much as he could retain.
At Pot O' Gold Kustoms Travis does a little bit of everything in the shop from trailer maintenance to rust repair to fabrication and beyond.
Travis's best advice is to do your own research! Not only on the vehicle you are about to invest in but who you choose to do your work. Not all shops are as qualified or honest as Pot O' Gold Kustoms.
Travis enjoys watching and being involved with all forms of motorsports & designing cars and trucks.
At the age of 33, and with no musical background or ability, Travis decided to take Violin Lessons. Yet very challenging he loves to play while improving his skills. The process is quite enjoyable for him.
Watch for this one as we may see him with the Vienna Philharmonic one day!
