My Bachelor’s Degree is in Civil Engineering, my Master’s Degree is in Education Administration. I obviously made the career change out of conviction for a need and in response to a calling as opposed to temporal benefits. I am currently the Administrative Assistant/High School principal at a small Christian School (I also teach AP Calculus, Honors Physics and a Bible class).
Been into motorcycles, go-cart racing, computers, model airplanes, tennis, running. oil painting and playing bass & regular guitar (also trumpet). . . and of course working on ACVW based cars.
Have no children, but have hosted international students.

Hi,  I'm married with two middle aged sons, only one of which is married. I'm currently a semi-retired machinist-mechanic-fabricator and I spend a lot of time with our three grandkids, as well as look after my elderly dad. So family takes up a lot of my time. BS in ag mech back in '65. Have worked as auto mechanic, state highway engineering technician, aircraft maintenance officer, automotive service manager, lathe operator and then research machinist for Caterpillar. Retired from Cat five years ago with 11.5 years of service. And from 1971 to 1992 ran my own business as a dealer in portable buildings and outdoor power equipment. Still have a well equipped shop and lots of tools including some old CNC machines. Do several custom projects a year for others as well as my own projects. Life is good!  Gary Hammond,  |

Well, Ive been in the auto industry all my life, with a couple shots at vending machine repair. Ive sold cars, repaired cars, painted cars, sold parts both retail and wholesale, and I managed two different shipping /recieving docks. My last job was doing building maintenence for a furniture store. Diabetes caught up with me, so now Im retired with a new kidney and several foot surguries. Just building cars for me now, with no scheduals or timelines.
I also have a 15 year old daughter, who will start to learn how to drive on her own VW bug this year. Her choice!

I was in the US Navy did component level repair on electronics. I was also a SAE certified mechanic a lifetime ago. This is my first VW build. I have mainly did Mustangs and fords.
