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 sister Terri. 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!
In 2008 the Duba's became Platinum Coach Dealers. They made a move to their present location in the old fire department building in Chambers Nebraska when it became available for sale. The heated and air conditioned office and shop has been a great asset to their ability to work in all types of weather. It has been a good decision and their business is prospering .
If you are shopping for a new or used trailer they probably have what you are looking for or know where they can get it for you.
