He holds a Master’s degree in Sculpture from the University of Cincinnati.
He applies his special talent with metal and woodworking to every Airstream.
Greg’s approach when restoring and updating vintage Airstream trailers is the marriage of old aesthetics and modern methods, form following function.
The Penner family is a multi-generational enjoyer of Airstreams.
They purchased their first family Airstream in 1997.
Now Greg, Julie, and Lucy, their six-year-old daughter, help others enjoy the same passion.
