My Dad owned a used Car Dealership and Auto Parts Store. Worked with him until I was 21, those were awesome days as I got to drive many British Cars which I absolutely loved, I also graduated as a Certified Accountant at the same age and Immigrated to Canada just after that in the early 80's.
Typical story of credentials not being recognized in North America so I started working at a fabrication Factory. Through a combination of hard work, luck and being in the right place at the right time, I quickly worked my way up and realized my love and passion for Fabrication was much greater than Accounting so I never looked back.
Fast forward 35 years, I still work for the same Owner in the various Businesses they own and is part of Senior Management, I consider myself extraordinarily fortunate to be part of the Company and even though I work an immense number of hours under stressful conditions it is rewarding to be recognized and rewarded.
I also consider myself lucky to have immigrated here and forge my own life despite the early setback. Canada is my home and I truly love it, regardless of where I go for Vacations, there is no place that I rather be than here.
Cars and modifying them have always been a passion for me and I am fortunate that I had the opportunity to experience driving a wide range of models. As for the Vette, I have only driven it 3 times before I had to park it for the Winter, definitely looking forward to Summer
.
I also have no intentions of retiring anytime soon.
