About Me

About me:

My name is Jeremy. I am in my thirties as a husband, father, son, and friend. I am married to Beth of Unskinnyboppy.com and together we have a son and a daughter on the way. I am Southern. I have a passion for old vintage things. I enjoy the hunt for my unique collection. Beth and I enjoy concerts and music of all varieties. We frequent towns around the south to see our favorite artists. I am a sports fan. As a true Southern, I love college sports. My son and I enjoy going to the local hardware stores to build fun Saturday morning projects. We also like going to see a good movie where we love the previews so that we can plan our next movie to see. We have two family dogs named Gus and Woodrow from the TV miniseries “Lonesome Dove”. They are some of the best dogs a family could have. All together this is my family and this is what makes me who I am. I hope you enjoy reading about our adventures and continue to come back for more.

Why the name Vintage Toolbox:

First and foremost, I enjoy all things vintage. I do help out my wife with her blog projects which gives me the opportunity to use tools to be creative. The idea for Vintage Toolbox came from a speech I made and referenced a small vintage toolbox that I keep at my desk at work. The name on the toolbox is Willie Fix-It. If said quickly it sounds like Will He Fix It? This is a question I am asked on a daily bases. I like to think of myself as a problem solver, someone who enjoys a challenge. You have to be willing to be challenged and most importantly challenge yourself. That is what this blog is for me, a challenge. I want to challenge myself, to share of myself, and to explore my passion.

Life is like a toolbox. You may feel as though you don’t have all the tools you need. You may want shiner and newer tools. You might be surprised at what you can accomplish with the tools you have. Many of us have the tools within us that never had chance to be used. I shared with a group once that my son has a small collection of tools but he has built over 30 projects of his own that he takes great pride. He is not caught up in the tools or even the projects. What he enjoys the most about the projects he builds is the time he and I spend together. I want to fill our toolbox to be full of memories, the best tools of all. Memories and experiences with those that you spend time with is what builds the story your life.
