Tell us about yourself:
I have been a motor head since I was little kid. I helped my father restore a 1965 Shelby 289 powered fastback Mustang and I have been hooked ever since. I have restored numerous Jeep CJs and a few muscle cars. In addition to cars, I also love aviation and I am currently restoring a Piper Cub.
I spent the bulk of my career as a flight maintenance representative for a small charter airline that flew teams for the NBA and NHL. I currently work for a major airline overseeing maintenance operations at a local vendor.
The R8 is my first Audi experience and I could not be more impressed with the quality and performance. It took me two years to find the color combo I wanted with the gated 6 speed manual, but it was worth the wait.
