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.
