SEMA 2015 was once again a thing to behold. We (Bernie and I) caught up with many old friends of the show as well as meeting some new friends. The interviews we did will supply enough content for multiple shows and this is just the first in the series. The contacts we made will also provide the basis for numerous upcoming interviews after SEMA is over. The beauty of this show is that in just one week one can learn more about what is available, meet more people in the industry, and witness more technology first hand than you can imagine exists. Why? Because it’s SEMA!

My big takeaway this year: I am tired! There was so much to do and see that I walked over 40 miles and got very little sleep, but it was 100% worth it. I also had the chance to re-connect with my great friend Kirk Hansen (formerly of National Parts Depot) to do the strangest thing we’ve ever done together; just hang out! (We also rode the High Roller ferris wheel thing. Bernie even live Periscoped it!).

We saved you the airfare and hassle to get to the show and are bringing you the SEMA goodness. Just sit back and enjoy this first round of interviews!
