Brian Duba grew up near Lincoln, Nebraska on a
family farm. His parents are; Harvey and Sharon Duba of Crete, Nebraska.
He has two brothers, Butch and Dusty, and a sister Teri. Brian's
family farmed while he was growing up and were very active in 4-H, showing
cattle and horses. They were also involved in the sport of rodeo.
He attended school at Crete and attended College at the University Nebraska
Lincoln and Southeast Community College to receive a degree in Automotive
Mechanic.
Brian always enjoyed woodworking, so
he worked part time for a neighbor doing carpentry work and learned several
skills. He purchased a horse trailer in 1995 and decided he wanted
to put a living quarters in it himself. He was very
meticulous to detail and it impressed several of his cowboy counter parts.
They requested his services and since then he has spent countless hours in the
shop building custom living quarters for a multitude of customers and rodeo
friends. Thus, "Duba's Trailer Customizing" was
established....but not with out help!
Brian's wife, Corenne (Spanel) Duba grew up
in the "Heart of the Sand Hills". Her
parents are Bill and Karen Spanel of Burwell, Nebraska. Corenne has a sister Crystal, two brothers, Shane and Dustin. All the
Spanel children were active in showing horses, Junior Rodeo, and High
School Rodeo. Corenne
attended country school and attended Burwell High School. After school,
Corenne worked at the Burwell Veterinary Clinic and was also a Secretary
at Jensen Irrigation and Feed. Her office and business skills would come in handy for their growing business...
Corenne met Brian at a Rodeo, and
after a courtship, cowboy style! They were married in 1998.
Brian and Corenne's custom trailer business grew
along with their family. The trailers began piling up, so she made the
decision to stay home and help Brian fulltime with their business.
They also have two little cowboys named, Cauy and Cole that required a
fulltime mom at home. They enjoy
living in the country and raising their boys at home on the ranch!
They are quite the little helpers in the shop, too!
Corenne
and Brian are still participating in Rodeo with their own family now.
So they utilize and show their custom living quarters quite regularly... Bill
Spanel, Corenne's father also assists them with construction on trailers.
He owns and operates the Spanel Ranch. Fancy Sand Hills cattle and
horses.
