I was born in 1970, just outside of Chicago. Soon after, we moved to a small town, Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. Growing up, I spent most of my time racing bmx and free-styling. I was about 15 years too soon for the X-games.I also grew up on dirt bikes, riding from age 9.
In 1986 my family moved to Florida, just outside of Tampa.This was when I got into cars. My first was a 1966 Chevelle, which I bought for $600 66 chevelle. I spent lots of time and money restoring it.I sold it in 1989 and bought a 1984 Corvette First vette. This I kept for about 5 years, changing the color twice( after 2 car wrecks,not my fault), and also getting new body updates. I sold it in 1993, and bought a yellow 1992 Vette Second vette. I only kept it for about 8 months though, having to get a van to use for work, driving about 35k a year.I bought a house in 1996,and soon after got married to my high school sweetheart.In 1997 I bought a rough 1967 Chevelle convertible 67 chevelle. Key word here is rough.I sold it in 2003 before I even got the project going. Same old story, not enough time- not enough money.
In Oct 1999, my son Colin was born, and in Dec 2001 my son Dayne was born. In 2005, after 19 years in the horrible Florida heat, my Family and I moved to Clayton, North Carolina. I have worked in electronics, for the past 18 years. I currently own my own Home Theater business, designing and installing Theaters, multi-room audio/video distribution, and structured wiring.
In October 2007 I purchased a 1971 Buick Skylark.
It was restored but not finished when I got it. Done in original color- Bittersweet Mist, tan vinyl top and sandalwood interior. I have since put the wheels/tires on; put in new seats, door panels, headliner, and steering wheel. New outside door handles, mirror, and emblems. Flowmaster dual exhaust, etc. It is nearly finished and ready for years of enjoyment for my whole family.
