CLASSIC RESTORATION, CUSTOM BUILDS, HOT ROD AND RESTO-MOD DESIGN, COYOTE AND LS AND ECOBOOST ENGINE SWAPS, ELECTRIC BRAKES AND STEERING, VINTAGE AIR, AND EFI CONVERSIONS -- YES, EVERY ONE OF THESE IS A SEYFER SPECIALTY. In 1961, Don Seyfer founded Seyfer Automotive. The pride he took in the family name, in his care for hot rods, and in his family-oriented style of business continues today, 60 years later. The Seyfer legacy, built on quality, reliability, and honesty, has been recognized both locally and nationally, and although Don recently lost his battle with cancer, son Troy and daughterin-law Tinamarie Seyfer now manage both Seyfer Automotive and Seyfer Specialties right next door. It is quite remarkable to think of the millions of lives that have been touched by this hard-working and home-grown family over the past 6 decades.

DETAIL, SHINE, AND CUSTOMIZATION. This is what it’s all about for Roger Tool at WaterWerx. Ceramic coating, waxing, polishing, and full-service detailing of automobiles, boats, motorcycles, RVs, and off-road vehicles. “I love making things perfect,” he says, and adds, “The transformation of what I start with to my end product is so personally rewarding to me. It is an added bonus that my clients are just as excited or even more excited than I am with the results.” If he is polishing away on a boat or a car, you’ll find him listening to The Polisher: it’s loud and it’s perfect. In the background? Ya, that’s country you hear...giddy up. Roger loves cars, boats, motorcycles, mountains, and the ocean. He snowboards, wake surfs, enjoys the peace of the mountain and the tumult of the water.

Arvada Lifestyle | June 2021

He loves a great burrito or taco and his wife most of all. He’s easy going and kind, and his work is exceptional. Roger’s dream vehicles include a 1959 Cadillac Coup Deville or a 2021 RAM TRXwith that 702 horsepower, of course! The Super Air Natique G23 boat is on his wish list, and as for a bike, a Harley Davidson Dyna Low Rider S he just might settle for. Roger Tool Professional Detailer www.waterwerxllc.com 720-630-6650

FAVORITE PART OF MY JOB,” EXCLAIMS DION. Whether it’s a tax refund or saving clients millions of dollars in tax debt, Dion helps people sleep at night by taking away the stress, burden and fear of taxes. Dion Malcomb has been in the tax resolution industry for 18 years and has been the owner of his own tax resolution firm since 2010. He loves helping individuals and businesses alike, for financial stress can be debilitating. I asked Dion how to live a financially happy life- here’s his advice: “Financially happy people realize you do not have to accomplish everything all at once. I believe it is important not to sweat the small stuff and be present in your life and your family’s life. While you do need to maintain a budget, you do not need to always be worrying about how much money you have in your bank account. I believe you should always live within your means and you should not try to keep up with the Jones.’ Finally, NEVER GIVE UP!! Life is full of ups and downs, but you can get through whatever situation comes your way and emerge stronger on the other side!” Dion Malcomb CEO of TaxFinders 720-327-9454

JASON M. GARCIA “I really enjoy working with ambitious people and partnering with them to help them become successful,” says Jason. Working as a CPA and tax professional for 20 years, Jason Garcia knows the importance of financial organization. He started at a large public accounting firm, later spent time in the oil and gas industry as the director of tax departments, and then founded Mile High Tax & Accounting in 2015. Jason is an expert, and he loves helping small business owners and entrepreneurs. He helps his clients understand their financial position and operate in a more tax efficient manner. “Showing a small business owner that they can keep more of their hard earned money is the goal at the end of the day,” Jason comments. I asked him how to live a financially healthy life- here’s his advice: “Living a financially healthy life starts with having the right advisors to help you meet your specific goals. Most people need a good tax advisor/accountant, financial advisor, and insurance agent. A good tax advisor will help you keep more of your earnings and assets, and help you make tax efficient decisions. A financial advisor will show you how to invest and grow your assets, and an insurance agent will help you protect both your assets and your future income. Once you have the right advisors in place, you can then start moving closer to reaching your financial goals!” Jason M. Garcia Mile High Tax & Accounting 303-657-1040
