I'm often asked: "How did you come with the idea for Versacarry®?" Odd as it
may sound, I owe the creative spark to a fire in June of 2010 that took my
home and all my belongings. My first reaction was shocking. Everything owned
was now a pile of rubble in a blackened hole. An optimistic person would be
quick to say there’s always a silver lining. That being said, thankfully my
younger brother and I were not home sleeping when the fire broke out. I will
forever be grateful that we were both up and out of the house early that day.
Unfortunately, my German Shepherd was at home and I lost her. I use the old
phrase 'silver lining' because the day my house burned down it was actually
pouring rain, and as I watched the firemen try to stop the blaze I can
remember how ironic it was to have everything burning up on a day it was
pouring rain. Together the firemen and the storm could do nothing to keep the
fire from spreading to the rest of the property. Everything I owned was a
total and complete loss. The next day I began working with my insurance
adjuster to figure out the next step in the process. The following day I
remember laughing when it dawned on me what my first purchase had been. Keep
in mind I had lost everything and a normal person's first purchase might have
been a toothbrush or underwear, however, mine was a handgun. I just couldn't
stand not carrying one with me. I had good insurance and was fairly
compensated. A person doesn't fully realize how valuable good insurance is
until you lose it all. With the compensation for the small 500 square foot
home I lost, I began working on a plan to rebuild my new home. I had decided I
would live in a small 27ft travel trailer while the new home was being built.
This plan enabled me to save a little money, be on the job site to supervise
the construction, and do part of the work myself. It was during this
construction period that the idea of Versacarry® came to me.
