The only competitor of his high-voltage smile is his unwavering energy and passion. This is the fuel he has to have to oversee storefronts, warehouses, construction sites and a "full" family life.

 Listen as this Champaign-born Charger talks about his move to the big city, finding his partner in life and business, furniture rehabbing from a small scale to packed warehouses, closing the family business (Mosser's Shoes), the HGTV show and magazine, MegMade, entrepreneurship, consistency, keeping business and home separate and handling good news vs. bad news.

This interview was a road trip worth taking to catch up, download and visit the homecoming king that has moved away and never looked back.

Emily Harrington, here! Mom, wife, retired communications liaison and host of the HyperLocal(s) Podcast. Each week I bring you a pod where townies and transplants share their tales of tears and triumphs, losses and wins. In an effort to provide a way for those that don’t want a public podcast, but still have a story to tell friends and family, I’ve created, In Retrospect: A HyperLocal(s) Project, a private podcast.
