This is Chris Redgrave for Zions Bank Speaking on Business.
When sitting down with Chris Burke for the first time, it doesn't take long to realize he has a creative mind. And his creativity is manifesting itself through his company, Marshall Motoart in West Haven.
One of the things he does with Marshall Motoart is creating custom restored hot rods. That means Chris is able to take something that looks old and turn it into a beautiful, high-end hot rod anybody would be proud of. Typically, it's bodies from the 30s and 40s he works on. However, he also does special project work, by customer request.
Chris learned at a young age how much he loved this type of work. His mom said he'd always tear toys apart and put them back together again. He loved to race bicycles and, later, dirt bikes. From there, he transitioned into racing monster trucks. He raced his truck, named Big Trouble, in the Clear Channel circuit with names like Gravedigger, Maximum Destruction and Bigfoot. Even though he loved it, he realized that deep inside he was happier building the truck than competing with it. That changed everything until Chris later formed Marshall Motoart.
He works with a lot of celebrity clients who don't want people to know about the jobs he's doing for them. And with Chris, they know they get strict confidentiality.
Now going on 15 years of being in business, Chris knows Marshall Motoart is a commitment he'll stay true to for rest of his life.
For Zions Bank, I'm Chris Redgrave, speaking on business.
