How long have you been in the industry?
4 years

How many years have you been MECP certified? How long have you been Master certified?
Less than a year. Basic 8/2009; Advanced 9/2009; Master 1/2010

What is the year, make and model of the most difficult car you've ever worked on?
There isn't one car in particular I can pick, however I don't really like working on european cars.

Give us a rundown of the system installed in your vehicle right now.
Pioneer deck, (2) 12" Alpine Type R's, (2) Alpine MRP M500

Name the top five artists in your MP3 player at the moment.
Bone Thugs, Lil Wyte, Three 6 Mafia, 2 Pac, Luther Vandross

What is your favorite tool to use in the installation bay and why?
It would have to be my "90 degree" tool for my drill. There's a lot of jobs that couldn't be done without it! My DMM and Snake tool come in at a close second.

What's the best advice you have ever gotten in your installation career?
"Freaking out about an issue won't fix it, it'll just slow you down."
"You didn't break it and fix it...You took a weak design and made it stronger!"

Who inspires you to further your skills and your career in mobile electronics installation?
I'm not sure if anyone in particular really inspires me. However I wouldn't be where i am in this field if it wasn't for Dan O'Brien and Cory Miller. They are two installers/friends that have helped me immensely throughout my years of installing.
