I was born in Oxford,
England while my father served his country in the U.S. Air Force. I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
after the family returned to the States. Midwesterners are known for their love
affair with the automobile, and I was seduced by cars at a very early age. My fascination with cars has flourished throughout years of customizing, most
notably a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach1 Cobra Jet with engine parts acquired from
NASCAR legend Dick Trickle. For the last thirty years, I have worked in the
metal fabrication business as a welder, tool builder and manufacturing engineer—handy
skills to have when one decides to build a Lamborghini Countach from scratch.I live in Wisconsin with my wife Eileen and our two
beautiful young children.
I have been raised around cars all of my life. This picture at the right says it all. 1958, Oxford England, my play toy was a hand built sports car chassis my father was building. The background was our home. A 16th century stone church or Vicarage. We left England for the US before I remember it, but I was told by my father, I was drawn to it at very young age. Notice the hands.....ten and two. I was a natural!
Here are my two daughters on their way to the first day of school. Arriving in style! By the look on their faces, I think they will remember it.
Sturgis 1993 and my other pride and joy a 1979 FLH Electra Glide which I am proud to say I still ride.
