Spooky Fast Custom Finishing

Bob Parsons is a guy who loves motorcycles. The colorful billionaire founder of GoDaddy and owner of Harley-Davidson of Scottsdale, Go AZ Motorcycles (both in Scottsdale, AZ), and Southern Thunder Harley-Davidson in Mississippi, discussed with Road Iron magazine his newest motorcycle venture, Spooky Fast Custom Finishing in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Parsons is a straight-spoken serial entrepreneur. He’s also a former Marine who saw combat in Vietnam, was seriously wounded and received the Purple Heart. After recovering and completing his tour of duty, Parsons attained a degree in accounting. Later, he taught himself how to write software programs and founded Parsons Technology, which sold home accounting software. In 1994, he sold the company to Intuit for $64 million. He then invested $35 million and started GoDaddy.com, which nearly ended in failure when his investment dwindled down to only $6 million. Luckily, people finally noticed GoDaddy’s super deals for domain name registration and Web hosting, and then there were the GoDaddy Super Bowl commercials. The rest is history.
