I was born May 12th 1952. I have lived near Forest  in Southern Ontario all my life.

I am married to a lovely lady (Carol) who had given me two wonderful daughters (Kristina & Barbra).

Now my oldest daughter (Kristina) has blessed us with two grandchildren. Josh was born in 2004 and Ava in 2007.

Kristina married Mark Podolinsky and since  2009 Mark had started his own business next to my shop.

This January 2011 we have incorporated and Mark
is now a partner.

In my earlier years I had worked as a mechanic for several John Deere dealers. Worked at ESSO Chemical in Sarnia. I drove trucks and worked at home on the farm with my brother running between 900 to 1100 acres along with doing several hundred acres of custom work.

In 1992, I built a Challenger II Ultralight and in the process became aware of AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants.

That put me on the path of becoming an AMSOIL dealer. I have worked hard and have, I believe, a loyal customer base. Lots of retail outlets that sell AMSOIL and also a strong dealer network.

In 2005 my brother and I decided to retire from farming and just share crop our land. With my AMSOIL business well established I needed to broaden my business dealings. I decided to expand my business in the direction of dealing with the motorcycle enthusiasts, since I myself was one. I owned a 2001 GL1800 Honda Goldwing, and thought,"what better way to help out the local riders, but to service their bikes doing AMSOIL Synthetic oil changes and installing new tires at a discounted price?"

It was NOT an easy getting a motorcycle business going. No one would talk to me because I wasn't a motorcycle shop. "Well no,"I thought," but I'm trying to get one started." I know I was not a Harley, Honda, or whatever dealer, but I wanted to sell and install tires and do oil changes. The kinda stuff bikers needed all the time and at a very good and competitive price.

It was a 3 month long struggle to get all the pieces together and to get my shop up and running. It took lots of capitol and sweet. Even a little blood.
