THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE GOLDEN GATE PALMS TEAM! We call him "Red Bull" because he is SO powerful and full of energy. He has become indispensible in the short amount of time that he has been working with us. In short, we are in love with our newest team member.
Naturally, there is a great story surrounding the aquisition of our dearest "Red Bull." Gary was searching the internet relentlessly for the perfect crane to fill a plethora of needs. Eventually, he came across a truck/crane combo that sounded suitable. The only drawback was that it was in Chicago. Never one to be thwarted by circumstances, Gary contacted the owner, made a deal, and bought a one way ticket to Chicago. This is where it gets good. The seller agreed to pick Gary up from Chicago O'Hare. Blissfully, Gary embarked on the plane from San Francisco, where it was 70 degrees F, in his "uniform" which is shorts and a t-shirt. He stepped off of the plane in Chicago where he then had to wait 45 minutes OUTSIDE in 12 degree F weather. At this point he realized that he did not even know what the guy picking him up looked like. They did eventually find one another (just before hypothermia set in) and the truck was just what Gary had hoped it would be. Red Bull did not always look as glamourous as he does now. This is the incarnation of him which faithfully brought Gary across so many states.
Gary has subsequently "pimped his ride" and this is how Red Bull looks today. You will soon see him travelling around installing beautiful palms throughout the Bay Area.
