I have been infatuated with German cars since I was 17 years old. I’m proud to say I owned one of the first BMW’s in Bellingham when I was 18 as they were just coming on the market - a ‘69 BMW 1602 that promptly went to the track to lap with other BMW’s from the Seattle area.

I grew up on a farm maintaining farm equipment and this led me to repairing my own cars. Eventually I was repairing other folks cars to make the money I needed to continue with my lust for BMW’s. I started a small business working on BMW’s only out of my garage on the weekends. This went on for 20 years while I was raising a family and building homes.

In 2006, I decided to retire from my construction business and go full time into the European auto repair business, as there seemed to be an enormous need in our community. The buildings that we are in is where the business was started and that we have grown to 4 tech’s and 2 advisors in order to keep up with the demand.

My goal has always been to have a team that feels like family where everyone shares the passion that I do for German cars. I still love my job and enjoy all the interaction I have with the guys and the enthusiastic customers. One of my other passions is BMW dual-sport motorcycles which I ride countless miles per year and get to enjoy other state’s many service roads.
