I co-founded The Hog Ring along with my brother Naseem (yes, our names rhyme). Our goal was to create a virtual meeting place for auto upholstery professionals to read industry news, share tricks of the trade and connect with others who have a passion for auto upholstery. But as it turned out, the site quickly blossomed into something much bigger and a whole lot more meaningful – a community of friends.
