I grew up on British sports cars, and quickly learned you either had to learn how to fix things yourself, or get to know someone who did. During those days, I always admired Porsches from afar, thinking they were out of reach. After college I purchased my first Porsche, a used 1979 911 Targa. Unfortunately, nothing ever broke for me to repair. I started tinkering on it anyway. Doing all my own maintenance, adjusting valves, changing out suspension bits, etc. The modern Porsches require far less maintenance, but I still enjoy tinkering with them.
I enjoy Tech Sessions, Tours and Driving Events with my wife, Sue, whom I have been married to for 36 years. We’ve met a lot of great people with similar interests in the Porsche Club, who have become great friends, too.
