I’m Alex, 33 years young, a local to Colorado and have lived in the Denver metro area my entire life. Just before 5280 Became a reality my previous professional life was spent climbing the ranks of the retail industry for 14 years. I have always been a car guy having owned some cool rides such as a 1989 Dodge Daytona, 1994 Honda Prelude, 2001 Honda Prelude, 2010 Camaro SS, 2022 Jeep Mojave just to name a few.
5280 Vinyl came to me honestly, after I left my Retail Career with the support of my wife and family, I wanted to-do something I enjoyed. I love to drive and my attention to detail and execution led me to the automotive industry. I went to Burbank California in August 2021 and took a training course with a 3M certified wrap shop Wrapix Academy and received a certification of completion. As said by Adam the owner “Your Good, are you sure you never done this before?”
Throughout my life I have always been a motivated individual, but now I was on to something else, something new, something I could grow and call my own and one day hopefully leave to my sons. With this newfound energy and boldness to step into the unknown, I came home to Denver from California and went to work! I wrapped everything I could. Soon after returning home, I picked up a Sponsorship with Kelly Flynn and Quake Led, I had the opportunity to design and lay vinyl for their Freak Show Builds that were all featured in SEMA 2021. The Jeegle was my favorite build out of the bunch. Since SEMA 2021, I have been focused on becoming the one and only certified Installer for ExoShield in Denver Colorado, building relationships and educating anyone that has questions about the industry.
I believe customers deserve upfront honesty and education about products. I believe in quality and longevity, noting should be done for short term gain or in the harm of others. Customer Service along with being able to relate and build trust is the key and 5280 Vinyl is all about that and more, I am proud of what’s been started and I’m excited to see where it goes.
“To Infinity and Beyond!”
