2026 Detail Mafia Detailer of the Year
On November 2, during our annual Detail Mafia business meeting in Las Vegas, I had the honor of being recognized as the 2026 Detailer of the Year.
This is something I don’t take lightly.
Over the past year, I’ve put a lot of time and effort into growing, not only as a detailer and business owner, but also as someone who can contribute to the success of others in our industry. I’ve attended events, participated in accountability groups, squad meetings, interning, talking to fellow members and continued looking for ways to improve how I operate CT Detailing Services.
One of the things I’m particularly proud of is starting a social media accountability group within The Detail Mafia. I know firsthand how uncomfortable it can be to put yourself in front of a camera, and I wanted to help other detailers overcome that same challenge.
The Detail Mafia is more than a professional network to me. It’s a brotherhood of individuals willing to share knowledge, challenge one another, and help each other grow.
I still have plenty to learn, and I’m continuing to work on becoming a better business owner every day.
Thank you to Renny Doyle Oscar Hernandez Chris Williams britt stokes with Stokes Auto Spa and all my fellow Mafia members who continue to share their knowledge, encouragement, and perspectives.
And most importantly, thank you to my wife, Melissa Taylor for supporting me through the long days, late meetings, and sacrifices that come with building a business.
I’m grateful for this recognition, but the work doesn’t stop here.
