That realization is what sparked Alex’s journey to create TrailerWatchdog. For years, he drove back and forth to the Florida Keys along US-1, passing stranded boat trailers on the shoulder. Blowouts, seized hubs, overheated axles. Each one wasn’t just a broken trailer, but a ruined trip, lost investment, or even a serious safety risk. Alex couldn’t shake the thought: Why wasn’t there a comprehensive system to monitor both axles and tires, the true heartbeat of every trailer? With a lifelong passion for technology, an engineering background, and hands-on manufacturing expertise, Alex turned that question into a challenge. He knew that solving the problem meant going beyond a simple tire pressure monitoring system. It required a smarter, more holistic solution. Through relentless design, testing, and refinement, Alex developed the first complete trailer monitoring system. One that captures axle temperatures at their base, tracks tire health in real time, and compares data across the entire trailer. The result was the TWD-1400: A system that turns any trailer, boat, horse, flatbed, camper, or utility, into a smart trailer. What began as a roadside frustration has become a product that protects haulers across the US today. Alex’s mix of problem-solving, engineering discipline, and manufacturing know-how transformed an idea into reality. And in doing so, he created more than a device. He created peace of mind for every mile.
