BIO:

  My lifelong passion for cars has developed into a rewarding career for me. After graduating from high school at Miles City MT, I attended college at NDSCS in Wahpeton ND for Automotive Technology. I worked for 10 years as a technician at several GM dealerships. In 2000, I took a job as an instructor at a college in MN. To help stay current, I have worked in both an independent shop and dealerships part time during some summers and I take part in a lot of industry training. I enjoy almost everything about cars and have an interest in most areas. Some of my areas of strong interest are classic cars, street rods, racing, and new technology. I have a large range of interest, for example, I still own the first car I ever bought - a 66 Chevy, and have worked on pit crew of a super stock race team. I have also done specialized training in Hybrid and electric cars, and Alternative fuel vehicles.
