“The most flattering aspect of winning this award is that it comes from my peers within the industry,” Goguen said in the release. “I know so many of these guys because we work across state lines on shared projects. All of these guys work hard to be the best at what they do, and they are all deserving of the same recognition. I sent in my own nomination for another detailer I believed deserving of the award, so naturally I was surprised to be chosen for the award myself! It is an honor I take very seriously.”
Goguen has been a part of the industry for 25 years. He has earned special detailing certifications for airplanes, yachts and museum-worthy exotics. He was a team leader for the Air Force One detailing project in Seattle in 2011.
