SHOW ME YOUR HOBBIES: ORIGIN STORY
In 2008, even though he had years of experience in the R/C community, Adam struggled to locate parts at R/C shops in his area. Seeing an opportunity, he opened Show Me Your Hobbies as a side business in Greensburg, PA. Then Adam's clientele grew so much that he turned his full attention to the shop, where he performed custom builds for customers and helped grow the R/C community throughout Western Pennsylvania.
Adam was also a customer at The BG. He and owner Matt developed a friendship while Adam and his family took advantage of The BG's R/C course, airsoft facility, and more.
Both men had similar business philosophies and were part of overlapping hobbyist communities, so they merged their companies. The BG acquired Show Me Your Hobbies in 2021, and brought Adam on as the manager. This acquisition enabled Show Me Your Hobbies to grow its inventory, and allowed The BG to expand its R/C offerings. As our reputation has grown, so has our business, but we will never forget our roots in the R/C and airsoft communities.
Matt says, "I started The BG because I wanted my own son to have something to do outside traditional sports. This journey has given us more than we could have ever asked for. I hope we can build the community together. Both myself and my family look forward to seeing the community grow and seeing families grow by engaging in new activities and bonding together. Going forward, I hope to keep impacting the community in a positive way. That includes keeping our youth occupied in fun activities like airsoft and R/C."
Adam agrees. "I first got into R/C when my wife got me a gift card to a hobby shop. I've been hooked ever since. I want to see the R/C community continue to grow as a whole, because the community is the best part of R/C. I have met so many incredible people, and I take great pride in being able to keep that going, including getting my own son into it. R/C has been something we have always done together and continue to enjoy."
A staff member adds that R/C and airsoft are family-friendly sports. "My advice to anyone getting into either hobby is to always remember they are meant to help you unwind and enjoy. Don't get discouraged, worked up, or frustrated. There can be a small learning curve, but all you need to beat it is patience and practice like anything else.
What I love so much about both hobbies is that it’s all up to you and how much you really want to dive into it. You learn how to be yourself among a diverse and cool group of people."
