Born and raised in Big Bend, WI - Jamie’s love of power sports started very early. His parents were self-employed gas station owners, so he’s been around business and has worked hard most of his early childhood. When Jamie was just 14 years old his father gave him a 1973 Chevy Camaro that he found for $600 that had been wrecked. He worked tirelessly to restore this vehicle with every spare moment he had. Affectionately named “2nd Gen” as it was a 2nd Generation Camaro. Jamie’s second project was the customization of a 1969 RS/Z that he still owns today. In the fall of 1986 at 18 years old and fresh out of high school, Jamie took the plunge and started his own shop. Jamie was fast becoming a master painter thanks to his true artistry, creativity and love for customizing the standards, the word spread and his business started to grow. Throughout the years Jamie has won many accolades and awards from Harley-Davidson® shows, DuPont Registry Paint Calendar, Snap-On Tools Billboard, two-time Easyriders winner featured in V-Twin Magazines. Also a Pro Class Bike Build Winner to mention a few. While we associate him with Jamie’s Customs and Power Sports since 2002 in Big Bend, it all started with one guy in a garage. Jamie’s shop consisted of tin walls, a concrete deck and a roll up door. Without running water or facilities, he was bringing water in daily by jugs to clean his paint room. He remained in this shop for 16 years until he saved enough money to purchase land and build his new shop just down the road in Big Bend, where that shop sits today. When he opened his current business the shop existed of approximately 7000 square feet. Today, after three additions, the shop sits at over 20,000 square feet.
