Adam & Jamie Walkup

Floridians, antique car enthusiasts & Company Owners

Adam has long standing ties to the Venice community as he is a native of our town and graduated from Venice High School. Adam and Jamie met while they were both attending Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers. Adam was already an integral part of the motor coach business and is now a second generation owner. But don’t worry, Jamie knew exactly what she was getting into; for their second date Adam brought her to the shop to clean the buses! Adam and Jamie pride themselves in being hands on Owner/Operators. Now as a family they have a son that attends Pine View and traveling is their passion. They are active members of the Horseless Carriage Club of America and tour the country in pre-World War I cars. A love of history is a family affair from the places they visit to the vehicles they drive. When they aren’t traveling the back roads of our amazing country they enjoy cooking together as a family and Jamie and their son are dedicated to their “5K lifestyle” as he affectionately calls it.

Paige Balsinger

Lives in paradise, saltwater fanatic & Vice President of Operations

“The cure for anything is saltwater: sweat, tears or the sea” – Isak Dinesen.

Being a Venice Native, this is Paige’s all-time favorite quote and has been since the moment she read it. After studying communications in college she has been a licensed experienced business professional with strong ties to the community she loves. Her local knowledge of Florida and strong customer service background made her a perfect fit for our Tour Department. Paige has been an active member of the Venice-Nokomis Rotary Club for many years, previously holding board positions and chairing fundraisers. Paige and her husband are avid supporters of the Venice Wrestling Program, which is really a family affair because two of her stepchildren and her husband are all VHS wrestling alumni! In her downtime Paige loves to be on their boat, fishing or just riding. If the weather doesn’t permit boating she is catching a football game.

All Around Employee Spotlight

Trinity Jaramillo

As Lead Coach Detailer Trinity is an invaluable part of the All Around Family.  He joined the organization in 2013 only a year after moving to Florida.  Originally from California he loves Florida so much because the scenery is quite similar to his home town.  He is a proud husband and father of two girls.  When he isn’t working he is catching an episode of the TV show The Office or a NY Yankees baseball game.  Walking with his daughters along the Legacy Trail is also one of his favorite pastimes.  Trinity enjoys being a part of the All Around Family because everyone is so nice and he feels like he is going to his second home, not to work.
