The First-ever Interview with Jeff Burgar of Alberta Hot Rods about CharlieSheen.com

Jeff Burgar doesn’t do interviews, at least he’s never done an interview before today. Search for his name on the Internet, and you’ll likely only find the 23 WIPO domain name disputes that have been filed against him and his company, Alberta Hot Rods, located in High Prairie, Alberta, Canada.

But the lack of publicity didn’t stop us from working to get the CharlieSheen.com domain name story and, in the process, learn a little more about Jeff Burgar, the domain name investor, and his recent sale of CharlieSheen.com to Charlie Sheen, the man with #TigerBlood running in his veins.
