I was born and lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania until my family moved to San Diego, California in 1969 where we settled in the El Cajon, Fletcher Hills area. I have always had an interest in cars so while attending school I got a part time job in one of the local car dealer ships. My fascination with automobiles continued to expand and I started leaning toward a career in the automotive industry. I was employed with Chevrolet Motor Division, and enjoyed a ten year tenure with the firm.
