Sheldon Summers

Sheldon is our in-house Jeep expert, however he is happy to work on all makes and models.  With so many years in the Foundry family, Sheldon has developed a great relationship with many of our regular customers.  Next time you are at Foundry Tire, give a yell out to Sheldon in the shop.  He will be glad to hear from you.

If you happen to find yourself at a dirt track race, just scan the crowd, you are likely to find Sheldon there too.  Otherwise, he is probably somewhere soaking up some live blues music or at a live sporting event.
