After pulling the trigger on opening our own private indoor ramp warehouse, 6 months later we’ve lost about $15,000 (and yes everyone still wants cheaper membership rates).

Once again, blown away in a third world country. Evan & I visited CR last year and decided to go back. This year my brother Matt happened to be studying down there for 4 months. We rented an SUV, started in a small surf town on the southern Pacific coast, and each day worked our … Read more
Caleb & I drove to Cali. Yes the yellow H2 with “Big Blu” the monster shrink wrapped boat and the Range Rover pulling the Harley in the yellow trailer. Caleb & Nicky drove together, so I took my girl (wish she we’re my girl) Lily, TEACUP YORKIE. Why? We moved a client’s family into Orange … Read more

Words will never explain what QBP has done for me over the past 5-6 years, professionally and personally. I look forward to continuing our positive relationship.

I’ve been on the wait list forever, and one week before I got in! I was in CA at the time, and actually had to book another earlier one way flight back to MN to get home and out to Chicago in time. I drove down a few days early for practice. First of all, … Read more

Shortly after bailing out of the plane (which you can see in the top of the photo) and dropping from 15000 feet. At this point it seriously feels like time has stopped as you travel 120 MPH towards earth… Nothing can compare to free falling like this, words can’t describe it.
Ashley & I checked out Yosemite for the first time.. I don’t believe I’ve ever really been to any of the large national parks. Seriously blown away..
Why settle with boring carpet, when you can have exciting hardwood floors in your cube? QBP encourages cubical decoration. I bought 120sq ft of flooring & precisely cut it to fit perfectly when I brought it into my IT cube at QBP. My fake hardwood floor is complete with beautiful fake tree, and a very … Read more
