- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My father owned a family operated furniture factory making upholstery in Los Angeles since the 60's. I spent my summers at his shop since I was just a kid. I started by sweeping and making buttons by the hundreds. Then learned all phases of the business as I grew older. Most of his employees spoke Spanish only, so they helped me learn the language.

Like sofa beds that have a bent or broken mechanism can be replaced in less than a half an hour, start to finish.
