About Myself

October 1, 1982 to present

R&R/Rebuilder/Diagnostic Technician

    Started out as a transmission installer at an Aamco in Ft. Lauderdale and worked my way to rebuilder in 6 months then to a diagnostic tech throughout the years for several different shops the last 10 years at an Aamco in Miami.

    After 28 years in the industry I've become a technical advisor for a transmission kit suppliers, specialty product manufacturer, a converter rebuild company and then the last 7 1/2 years as a hot line technician and technical speaker at seminars around the world along with writing articles for a Gears Magazine.

Senior Technical Advisor

    From my office at home in south Florida (minimum of 12-13 hours a day, not all for the company) I write monthly tech articles for Gears magazine, and take tech calls for ATRA subscribers from around the world. I'm also on the technical committee for TCRA (Torque Converter Rebuilders Association),

    I am a member of several technical internet forums that average over 250 emails a day (obviously I don't read all of them, just the important ones). I speak at ATRA seminars around the country and some on my own around the world. One day a week I go out to local transmission shops to help diagnose problems or just plain get my hands dirty, so I don't lose touch with my roots.
