    Two New Tridents

    Two New Tridents

    Alex, I live in central FL. :) I found Don to be a real peach, just could not ask for a better person to do business with. Dario, really has a great eye that I do not have and helped me pick these out of all that Don had to pick from. Both Don and Dario really top notch folks in my book.

    Marc Torppa / Marc Torpa / Mark Torppa / Mark Torpa @ the Growing Grounds - AVOID

    I had a recent dealing with Marc and I was lucky enough to get out before I pulled the trigger, thanks to the gentleman that first posted this thread. I could believe that this happened to him. Two big things that I did not like in our conversation; 1) No phone number? What type of worthy...
