About Dave

I have been spinning wrenches in the automotive industry for 22 years, I’ve been running my own automotive repair facility for 12 years, and I have been a Chevy lover for 48. When the opportunity presented itself to be a contributor for CHEVYGEEK.COM, it was a no-brainer for me.

Following Randy’s huge footsteps won’t be easy. I may not have seen a more qualified technician in my life. Randy’s credentials speak loudly to his expertise. I only hope that I can serve you half as well as Randy has over the past few years.

The first time I held a wrench over the fender of a car was in 1976. Granted, I had no idea what I was doing at that time because I was only 6 months old. But I’m honoured that my father trusted me to work on his 1969 Chevy Nova SS at such a young age.

My grandfather taught me the value of hard work, and I take that to work with me every day. I can still hear him say “The world doesn’t owe you a living, son”. Now that I have kids of my own, I am trying to pass that value on to the next generation.

My first real job in automotive repair was at a GM dealership. My trade school was done at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. Several years, and one child, later I bought a small automotive business, which I run by myself in a small town in Ontario. Being the only man in the shop every day has exposed me to every facet of the business. I think that this fact may have granted me a unique perspective that many individuals aren’t lucky enough to possess.

Going forward, I think that exposing myself to opportunities like this, taking on a role at CHEVYGEEK.COM, will help me progress in my journey toward personal excellence; which, as Andy Frisella always reminds us, is the ultimate rebellion.
