Charles L. Pelsor (also goes by Bud) started learning to weld with his dad at age nine. By the time he graduated high school he was one of the youngest to receive his welding certs. He continued to climb in the skilled contruction trades. Welder, Rigger, Millwright, Boilermaker, to Project Manager. One of the highest awards that was presented to Bud was a 4S and Safety certificate for being project manager on a Toyota Motor Mfg plant expansion. This award was rarely handed out and meant that Bud was highly regarded for his over all performance.
Bud returned to school in his late 30's. He attented the J.B. Speed School of Engineering at the University of Louisville. This is where he expanded his math skills and learned wave form calculations. Working on a project for class and inspiration of his wolf-hybrid, Nissha, the "Buddy Bowl" was born. Professors at U of L were the ones that encourged Bud to get a patent.

Here's the who is and the what is of Great American Spillproof Products (GASP). There is my wife Beth (I call her Rae), there is Dia (mostly Wolf, all female), Onyx the cat (all cat), and me; Charles L. Pelsor or "Bud" or "Buddy" as I am still called by my family and some of my friends.
Great American Spillproof Products is in the business of manufacturing and marketing the entire "spillproof" concept. I started with the pets because my long time companion Nissha demanded it of me. We will be introducing several new products incorporating the patented "spillproof" design, such as; flower vases and a desert cup with soft drink and ice cream.

Bud, Beth, and Dia at six weeks old. Dia's official name is: Miss Arkansas Diamond. She was born on Smith's Mountain in the Ozarks. Dia is a wolf hybrid. Bud and I originally went to Arkansas to go to the Crater of Diamonds State Park. This was the week of Thanksgiving 2008. The purpose was for Bud to dig me a diamond for an engagement ring. No diamond transpired but it was a beautiful day and we found lots of pretty rocks. Later in the week we visited some friends who had some pups ready to go. We just went to "look" and she adopted us. Hence Dia is short for diamond.
