Gorham native and self-made businessman Shawn Moody discusses his 2010 gubernatorial run, cars and business on TideSmart Talk with Stevoe.<\/p><\/div>\n

Shawn Moody is Founder and Principal at Moody’s Collision Centers, a business\u00a0he founded when he was just 17. He grew the business into what is now the\u00a0largest auto repair business in New England with 75 employees at 7 locations in\u00a0Maine.<\/p>\n

At age 13, Moody began working on cars out of his mother\u2019s garage. At age 17,\u00a0Moody bought a lot of land and took out a $6,000 loan to construct a 3-bay\u00a0garage. A senior in Gorham High School, Moody was a property taxpayer and\u00a0small business owner. The business grew from just a few customers a week to\u00a0nearly 8,000 customers annually thanks to Moody\u2019s philosophy of community\u00a0support, customer loyalty and co-worker dedication.<\/p>\n

Under Moody\u2019s leadership, the business has won several statewide awards for\u00a0environmental excellence and business achievements. In 2003, the company\u00a0converted to an Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP), giving Moody’s\u00a0workers a 34 percent financial stake in the company.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Gorham native ran a largely self-funded campaign for governor in 2010 as\u00a0an independent. Moody’s bid was unsuccessful, and he finished with 5 percent of\u00a0the vote in a relatively crowded field.<\/p>\n

During this segment, Stevoe and Moody reminisce about first cars, and the two talk Maine politics and business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
