Growing up in a large family of engineers and car enthusiasts, I’ve loved cars nearly all my life. European makes, and especially Porsches, have been the focus of that passion since grade school years, with plastic model car building and studying car books and brochures my favorite way to pass time. Fortunate to realize my dream of owning a 911 just one year out of college, I never looked back. Since that Pacific Blue 911SC came home, I’ve enjoyed over twenty Porsches ranging from multiple air cooled 911s from the 1980s through the 1990s, to 996, 997 and 991 water cooled 911s, Boxsters, and the Cayenne and Panamera modern four door models. My current personal collection includes a 356A, a modern and air cooled 911, and a Cayenne Diesel. 

Part of my ownership experience has been carrying that passion into active car club participation, serving in several roles with local and national leadership for the Porsche Club of America (PCA), as well as participation and national leadership of the 356 Registry.  Activities within those clubs included presidency of the Kansas City Region PCA,  PCA Club Racing scrutineering, PCA Parade Tech Quiz leadership, 356 Registry Trustee, and concours judging. I am also a supporter and friend of the McPherson College Auto Restoration program, having completed several summer institute programs, and recently a trip to Stuttgart with students and faculty to visit the Porsche Classic workshops and Porsche Museum. Also a licensed architect and construction manager, I have a trained eye for design and craftsmanship, and a high attention to detail.

I’ve seen about everything during those twenty-five plus years of searching, buying, selling and enjoying Porsches (and a few other specialty or collector cars for good measure), so I want to share that experience to help others realize their car dreams.
