After selling our last venture to a Samsung Company, Harman International, decided to take a full year sabbatical. Enjoyed that year-long sabbatical, in search of the next billion-person problem to solve. During this year, spent time with our family including 1:1's with each of our three children. Our oldest was finishing her junior year in high school and we did a 5,000 mile road trip in a 1973 Bronco pulling a 1965 tent camper from NYC to Walden Pond, Niagara, Glacier, Seattle and down Pacific Coast Highway. Once in a lifetime trip. Began collecting vintage Shelbys and historic Ford Broncos. The Prototype Bronco was found and acquired that was once owned by Shelby for 10 years. After collecting 15 all original paint Broncos, it lead to a lifestyle business, Gateway Bronco.
