amazing trip and I hope to go back someday.
What are your hobbies?
I have been a bona fide car nut all my life; I was
probably checking out cars on the way home from
the hospital after being born. I am on my 19
th
car
now, although I have only recently started to in-
dulge in my true automotive passion of classic
cars. Everybody likes classic muscle cars it
seems, and I do too, but I am mainly interested in
old luxury cars. To that end, in 2010 I sold my
modern Honda and bought an old Oldsmobile
Cutlass Supreme and an old Cadillac Fleetwood
Brougham. As time goes by, I plan to get older
and older cars. Who knows, maybe someday I’ll
wind up with a Model T that I have to start with a
hand crank.
What do you plan to do when you retire?
I would love to have my own classic car dealer-
ship. I could travel the country, find interesting
old cars to buy, put in some minor sweat equity
and resell them at my leisure. Sounds like fun!
As an IAAO instructor, what is the best
piece of advice you can offer to students?
Get a copy of the coursework and read through it
in advance of the class if you can. Always sit in
the front row where it is easy to see and hear, and
ask a question as soon as you don’t understand
something; don’t wait and let confusion snowball.
Most of the classes are the equivalent of a semes-
ter of a college-level finance class squeezed into
four days with a test on the fifth day. It’s not
easy, so you should give yourself every advantage.
SAVE THE DATE!
