Robert Whelan, President
Robert has been in the body shop business for 15 years. As a painter's helper during high school under his mentor, Steve Lewis, he is fortunate to have hands on experience in the field. After being promoted to estimating he quickly excelled into a management position and then elected to become an insurance adjuster. After a short time as a insurance adjuster he was promoted to a Property Damage Trainer and Regional Watercraft and RV claims handler. After a couple of years with a great company Robert decided that his home was in the body shop where he was more involved with people and repairs. After managing a dealership body shop for a couple of years and then a large independent body shop, he was fortunate enough to meet Ron George, the prior owner of Bay Custom, and purchase the shop in August of 2004.
