Scott Smith

We have been married for 40 years and raised 3 wonderful children in California and Texas. Our son is an Officer in the Air Force, graduating from the Air Force Academy in Colorado and is stationed in Hawaii. His Esposa is now a Stay at home Mom after being a school teacher for many years. They have 2 children. Our 1st daughter is a stay at home Mom raising their 3 kids. She has an Interior Design Degree from the University of North Texas and is a Ball of Fun! She is married to a Real Estate Wizard and Property Manager in North Texas. Our 3rd child and 2nd Daughter is a 3rd Grade Teacher in Central Texas and Married to a Detective in the Travis County Sheriff’s Department. They have 2 children as well. Did I mention that all 6 Grandbabies are GIRLS!!! (And 1 handsome boy) Oh My!

I was a Masonry Contractor in Both California and Texas for about 15 years, I have built houses and done pretty much everything when it comes to building. Concrete, Framing, Plumbing, Electrical, Tile Setting and Bricklaying of course. I had a change of career in my mid 30’s. After going back to college in my 30’s to finish my degree in Mathematics and Computer Science I went to work in the Credit Card Processing and Financial Services industry for 21 years. My beautiful wife was a stay at home Mom and did a fantastic job raising our children (definitely a reason for their current success!) She also worked in Administration for the local School District and was an asset to whoever she worked for.

We have been avid outdoors people since we first met and love to camp. We have owned tent trailers, overhead campers and travel trailers since we have been married. We love to camp at the Beach and loved to boondock in the Sand Dunes of Glamis. I became a Certified RV Inspector and Registered RV Technician to help people enjoy the Great Outdoors, to help new RV Owners understand their rig and to help potential RV Buyers and Sellers understand what they are buying or selling.

Why Leidbak? (Pronounced Laid-Back)

Well it all started when I owned a CalBug in California (A CalBug is a lowered Volkswagen Beetle) and I wanted a Vanity Plate to tell everyone how cool (I thought) I was! Well, Vanity Plates can only have 7 letters and LAIDBAK wasn’t available so I thought and I thought and I always wanted to go to Hawaii ….with a play on words I came up with LEIDBAK (using the Hawaiian LEI as the basis) lo and Behold it was available and the rest is History. I came up with the name as a reminder to me to RELAX AND ENJOY LIFE!
