About Greg
As a child, I was obsessed with cars. I read and talked about them every chance I got. I had several good mentors; one being my auto shop teacher in high school. His level of professionalism and passion for the repair business really spoke to me. Even after all these years, what I learned from him keeps me focused and excited about the automotive industry.
In fact, he helped me secure my first job at the local auto machine shop while I was still in high school. Rebuilding cylinder heads and cleaning various parts beforehand was my main job. There were also the occasional repairs the other guys there didn’t care for – such as the glorious air brake actuators under the septic tank trucks.
Like a lot of techs, I was interested in drag racing, and after losing my driver’s license, I went to the track. It was a joy tuning engines and building fast cars, but it got too expensive, and my racing days abruptly ended shortly after marriage.
Since then, I’ve worked 10 years as a Toyota Master technician and 15 years at Mitsubishi as one of only two Master Elite Techs in the region. While at Mitsubishi, I worked on many Asian and domestic vehicles and was cross-trained as a Kia-certified tech.
Before coming to ALLDATA, I had the joy of working at an independent shop with an extensive list of clients who owned collector cars. I worked on some amazing vehicles such as Ferraris, Aston Martins, MGs, Allards, Camaros, Vettes, Cobras, Mustangs, and Hudsons.
In my spare time, I like to fish, kayak, bicycle, ride my street motorcycle, read zombie books, and attempt amateur writings on Christian devotions and zombie apocalypse shorts.
