Most college students are on a budget, and I was no different. I had a 1966 Oldsmobile that was in continuous need of repair, and while I found an old mechanic who knew what to do, he was physically unable to do it. Essentially, he would point out what needed to be done, and I would attempt to do it! Little did I know, that was the beginning of my automotive aftermarket career.

Despite a lack of technical or automotive experience, I have been fortunate to spend the last 38 years engaging associates, customers and vendors in our dynamic automotive aftermarket industry. TPH has a great culture of growth, and of developing its people. Dozens of our key management team started with entry-level positions in the company, and will lead our growth and opportunities in the future. I am proud to be a part of their growth and development, and am excited to see what the next 40 years will bring.
