1960

I spent the summer after high school graduation in Lebanon, Syria, and Israel. Graduated with a B.S. from the U of A in 1966 and worked on a masters through 1968. I was married in 1967 and worked for various companies over the years. In 1977 I started Automotive Recalibration Center with a partner doing emissions work. After my partner bought me out I began Bill Nelson's Automotive Service where I still am today. From the time I was old enough to drive I have always been interested in mechanical things. I have a great love for high-performance cars and automotive racing. I began racing back in 1958 at the Marana Airstrip. In 1969 I began racing NHRA competition all over the southwest. I have been with a local drag strip since its inception. In 1980 I married my current wife Joan. She and I enjoy our cabin at Lakeside and U of A basketball.
