I was born in Cleveland Ohio, and grew up in Southern California, mostly in Orange County; Anaheim to be exact. My teen years were in the late fifties and early sixties, so I grew up with hot rods and muscle cars, at a time when they were made to be raced, and race them we did. Now, you wouldn’t think of driving one of those cars like we did then. We had the legends of automotive history and the enthusiasm of teenage boys trying to outdo each other, we raced them hard, and we had the time of our lives. Currently, I am an electro-mechanical design engineer working for an aerospace company in southern California. My first love is muscle cars (of course), I have owned and driven many in my life, and I am now a collector. Since I am not a multi-millionaire, most of my collection consists of my experiences with these fantastic vehicles and the thrilling memories they left me with - that’s something a multi-millionaire can't buy. In my FACEBOOK I will attempt to share my memories of a grateful life as I have experienced it then, and now. I have lots of photos to share, some words of wisdom, and some words that are not so wise. But then, that’s what makes life so interesting.
