How long have you been in the industry?
Nine years, but professionally about four.
How many years have you been MECP certified? How long have you been Master certified?
I have been certified for four years and have been Master for a year.
What is the year, make and model of the most difficult car you've ever worked on?
That's kind of a hard question to answer because some are just time consuming taking apart by itself, but I would say the new Volkswagens and BMWs for remote starts can get pretty tricky.
Give us a rundown of the system installed in your vehicle right now.
2003 Chevy Silverado Ext. Cab. I have a Kenwood double din A/V head unit with an Audio Control Matrix line driver, 2 10" Orion HCCA subs powered by 2 Rockford Fosgate t1500bd and a Rockford Fosgate 4 channel pushing four 6 1/2" Infinity Kappa Component speakers... Extreme bass and extreme highs.
Name the top five artists in your MP3 player at the moment.
Metallica, Infected Mushroom, Primus, Elton John, and T.I. Quite the assortment, I listen to just about anything.
What is your favorite tool to use in the installation bay and why?
By far the most favorite tool would be my routers. They are so versatile to cut basically any material whether it be wood, acrylic, abs plastic, aluminum, etc. The possibilities are endless!
What's the best advice you have ever gotten in your installation career?
It's all in the installation. Just make sure you do it right the first time.
Who inspires you to further your skills and your career in mobile electronics installation?
Steve Brown, Mike Vu, Mark Lowe. Basically any installer that loves what they do and shows it through their amazing installs, whether it's elaborate and "out there" to simple and classic.
