TuckVisor "as seen on TV"

That’s what I’m talkin’ about

That's what I'm talkin' about...

Fast forward to the commercial light bulb going off…

Like so many others, I left the full service hand car wash in the early evening with a shiny clean car. Half way home there's that darn annoying sun again so I reached for my invention to find it missing. The workers had simply mistaken it for trash and thrown it away. This is when I realized I could not live without my TuckVisor and must make another one - and that I had used it almost every day for over a year...

"BING", this is not just my problem. It's a future product for the masses. 

Research and development begins...

TuckVisor is born

I was doing my thing: driving south down highway 5 to Fresno California early in the morning beginning another long sales week with lots of windshield time. Maybe I was a little tired or simply had not had my coffee yet, but that darn early sun constantly glaring in my eyes from the side was just getting under my skin. "Time to solve that problem" said my inventive mind. So I grabbed a piece of thick black paper on the seat next to me, folded it and stuffed it in the window trim.  Ahhh, everything improved from there. That evening back at the hotel the first TuckVisor prototype was made and it was back to the weekly grind.
