OUR TEAM...
Production Manager / Estimator
Tom Nelson
40+ Years Experience
I grew up in south Mpls, went to high school at Burnsville Sr. High, and went to Dakota Co. Vo-Tech for construction and Autobody. I started in the autobody business in 1979, where I painted cars for ten years before becoming a tech. I was then an autobody tech and frame tech for another 10 years. Started SLPC in 1991-2005. In 2005 I went back into construction business as a construction superintendent till I was layed off in 2011. My true love is the collision business, I'm a great tech but even better with dealing with the general public. My true talent is writing estimates and educating the general public as to what it takes to repair their car or boat. I believe that I am one of the best in this business. I also love to hunt, fish, and ride my Harley. I have two grown children in which my son has followed me in this industry and is one of the best painters I have worked with. Most of all I have grown to love Stillwater area and the people from this area are the most genuine people I have ever worked with and enjoy meeting and working with. After 40+ years in this business I still enjoy setting up and doing it again the next day. Last but not least, I want to commend Hassis Paintworks for their reputation and fairness to everyone we work with and my goal is to keep the tradition alive and glad to be a proud member and leader of the team.

Fiberglass Repair Technician
Mike Parks
35+ Years Experience
I started my career at Johnson Boat Works in 1983. My dad was a boat builder and made all the molds. There I began working in the fiberglass shop where I learned boat building and mold making. When the company sold, I went on my own doing repairs for marinas and customers. In 2003, my dad and I had the opportunity to build a 38 foot racing "A" scow for Brad Robinson. We started with a rough plug and proceeded to build the molds and then the boat. It was named Victory and for good reason. I've met many great people in the boating world. Now, I am working for Hassis. Chris, Jana and our crew are superior. There is literally nothing we can't fix and the quality of our work is outstanding. I know how boats are built and the strength/cosmetics it takes to repair a boat properly.
