Biography

Formed his company in 1930, he was one of the founders and a long time officer of TCA. He designed and patented many trailer features, including an integrated “dolly wheel” to carry tongue weight so standard autos could pull his heavier trailers. He was one of the first manufacturers to use all aluminum exteriors.
