About Five 17 Detailing

My name is Chris Lotito, I started Five 17 Detailing to follow my passion for cars and to live my dream of owning my own business and working for myself. I played Baseball at Seton Hall and then Jacksonville University where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and minor in Criminal Justice. I am currently pursuing a masters degree in Organizational Leadership and Business at Jacksonville University. Throughout my college years I faced a lot of adversity and have learned a lot of life lessons. The greatest take away from my college career was that God is a loving and gracious God. My adversity in college lead me to the Lord and I am now using my platform as a business owner to share Gods word and love with as many people as I can!

The name Five 17 comes from the Bible in 2nd Corinthians Chapter 5 verse 17. In this letter Paul is writing to the people of Corinth. He writes, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!” I truly believe that when you find a relationship with God, one that we were all created to have, you are made new. When we come to know the Lord everything in our life will change- our mindsets, our hearts and our desires! We are set free from whatever struggles, temptations, or problems we once had. This does not mean our lives will be perfect and we will not struggle. However, it does mean that we are no longer controlled by those things that once had power over us. We can walk in freedom and victory over those struggles through the blood of Jesus Christ. I have seen this hold true in my own life. I am no longer who I once was because God has transformed my heart! My goal is to follow my passion for cars and fulfill my purpose of sharing the gospel with anyone who would listen to bring glory and honor to God and His Kingdom.
