Born March 21st, 1969 in Rochester,NY. My Father bought me my first car and my first year insurance for my 16th birthday to enable me to get to a job and back. After it broke for the second time and two consecutive bills for $100.00 each I decided that I needed to learn how to fix cars for myself. With the help of a friends father, I learned all the basics of car repair and in my senior year of high school decided that I wanted to do this for a living. So I went to Ohio Auto and Diesel Technical Institute in Cleveland, OH.
The course was 9 months long and 900 clock hours. It ran from July 27th 1987 to April 11th 1988 and I graduated 7th out of 27 with an overall average of 78%. One week after graduating I started working at John Holtz Mazda-Volvo. After that I worked at Perna’s Mobil, Budget Car Sales, and Kurt’s Garage before coming to Craig Autometrics Inc. in March of 1996. I obtained my ASE Master Auto Technician certification at age 19 and Advanced Auto Performance at 25. I have 4 out of 5 Bosch certifications and have been employed at Bosch Service Centers for 7 years. I have worked on virtually every make and model of car built today but my specialty and preference is European Imports. I enjoy this career in that I never know what challenges I am going to face from day to day. I am married to a wonderful woman named Elaine. We have been married since 1991 and have no children. I consider myself to be very blessed to have a great marriage and a job at the best repair shop in the city of Rochester.
