The Car stuff
began at 14 years old when
Bruce took apart his
first V-8 engine and was
hooked. A passion developed for
automobiles, which continued to develop for
40 plus years
and
carries on today. During
that period, Bruce added a minor
Degree in
Engine Design, a Bachelors Degree in
Mechanical
Engineering Technology, 27
years of Manufacturing experience
in New
Product/Process Development, Plant &
Facilities
Maintenance, Industrial Engineering
and Safety.
Today, Bruce can rebuild a 10-cylinder engine,
tell whether
or
not an air bag deployed
properly during an automobile crash,
if
any
other part in the car malfunctioned, and restore
the car
to
original manufacturer’s
specifications.

components, his skills and Engineering
Experience
in New
