When Radara isn’t showing a maintenance crew how to shine leading edges on a fleet of Gulfstream jets, or recommending the best product for a DIY’er to use on their Airstream, she’s at home in Oklahoma, ATV free-wheeling with her husband the professional FMX rider, Cody Elkins, and their three daughters. You see, Radara’s passion for all things moving easily mixes with her job for the past 15 years as a field representative for NUVITE. Covering the Midwest and appearing at most domestic trade events, you can always count on Radara to assess the application and recommend the right product for the job.
