Our Story

Our Story

Our story began in 2009 with the purchase of shipping containers for use in my existing business. I purchased a few shipping containers to weave into our local storage facility, Lone Star RV & Mini Storage in Brazoria, TX. We were at 100% capacity and were unable to build additional storage buildings.


I was able to easily add a handful of containers between and at the ends of buildings, and I quickly saw the benefit of being able to provide on-site storage for our community.


Whether on a temporary basis with rentals or through permanent storage solutions, customers began to utilize our containers for storage in their pasture, near their home, or for their business, and A Mobile Box came to life.

Our story began in 2009 with the purchase of shipping containers for use in my existing business. I purchased a few shipping containers to weave into our local storage facility, Lone Star RV & Mini Storage in Brazoria, TX. We were at 100% capacity and were unable to build additional storage buildings. I was able to easily add a handful of containers between and at the ends of buildings, and I quickly saw the benefit of being able to provide on-site storage for our community. Whether on a temporary basis with rentals or through permanent storage solutions, customers began to utilize our containers for storage in their pasture, near their home, or for their business, and A Mobile Box came to life.


I began building connections with local contractors who utilized our boxes during remodel jobs allowing the resident to store their personal belongings without ever having to leave their home giving them easy access to their belongings. Contractors often use our boxes to store supplies and materials for the job providing security and protection from the elements. Other businesses found the ease of using containers to expand their storage solutions on-site with a small footprint and low overhead. We are proud to work with local contractors and other businesses as well as residents to provide temporary storage solutions through our container rentals and permanent storage solutions through our container sales.


I continued expanding on-site storage at our second location in Brazoria, TX, Lone Star RV & Mini Storage - AD (formerly known as AD Self Storage) as well as installing an all container storage facility in Sweeny, TX, Lone Star RV & Mini Storage - Sweeny. We have found our boxes provide an additional storage option with lock boxes, easy open doors, and sealed doorways to keep out rodents and pests. Whether the need is for a 20’ or 40’ container, customers can visit our container yard at 9443 FM 524 South, Sweeny, TX and select their preferred box from our inventory. Call me at (979) 665-8899 to schedule a time to come visit our container yard and select your storage solution or coordinate the delivery of a rental box for your temporary storage needs. 


I look forward to meeting you at our container yard!!

When most people think about getting a shipping container, they picture the delivery truck pulling into their driveway. What they don't see is everything that happens before that moment. That's where I come in.


As the office manager, I have the opportunity to work with our customers from the very beginning. Whether someone is looking to buy a container, rent one for a few months, rent-to-own their container, or just has questions about what size or condition would best fit their needs, I'm here to help guide them through the process.


Every day is different. One customer may need a container delivered to a construction site, while another is looking for secure storage on their ranch or business property. I enjoy listening to what they're trying to accomplish and helping find the right solution. If we don't have exactly what they're looking for, I'll work to procure the right container so they get what they need instead of settling for something less.


Once we've found the right container, I take care of the details that keep everything moving smoothly. I prepare invoices, process payments, send rental agreements and sales documents for electronic signatures, and make sure all of the paperwork is completed correctly. My goal is to make the entire experience simple and stress-free so our customers can focus on their project instead of worrying about the paperwork.


One of the things I enjoy most is building relationships with our customers. Many of them come back to us months or even years later because they remember how easy the process was and how well they were treated. Those repeat customers are incredibly rewarding because they remind me that good service really does make a difference.


I believe that every phone call, email, invoice, and signed document is an opportunity to earn someone's trust. Even though much of my work happens behind the scenes, I know it's an important part of delivering the level of service our customers deserve.


At the end of the day, my job isn't just about paperwork—it's about helping people find the right storage solution, making the process as seamless as possible, and ensuring every customer feels valued from the first phone call to the final delivery. Knowing I've helped create a positive experience for our customers is what makes me love what I do.

I've been delivering shipping containers for 16 years, and one thing I've learned is that no two deliveries are ever the same. Every property has its own challenges—tight gates, soft ground, low tree branches, narrow driveways, or just the perfect spot a customer has pictured in their mind. That's what I enjoy most about this job.


Driving the truck is only part of what I do. The real satisfaction comes from figuring out how to place each container exactly where the customer needs it. Sometimes it takes patience, careful planning, and a few adjustments, but when everything comes together and the container settles perfectly into place, it's a great feeling.


One of the best parts of my job is working directly with our customers. I like taking a few minutes to listen to what they're trying to accomplish, whether they're storing equipment, creating a workshop, moving to a new home, or expanding their business. Understanding their needs helps me make sure the container is positioned in the most useful location—not just the easiest place to unload it.


I've had customers tell me they didn't think it was possible to fit a container into their space until they watched us make it happen. Seeing the relief and excitement on their faces reminds me why I take pride in every delivery. Even when I am unable to place a box in the customer’s ideal location, I work to find an agreeable solution.


Customer satisfaction isn't just something we talk about—it's something I get to be part of every day. Before I leave a job site, I want the customer to feel confident that the container is exactly where they wanted it and that they're happy with the service they received. If there's a way to make the delivery better, I'm willing to take the extra time to do it right.



At the end of the day, I'm not just delivering steel boxes. I'm helping people solve problems, protect what matters to them, and start new projects. Knowing I've made someone's day a little easier is what keeps me looking forward to the next delivery.
