Hello all,
Thought I should take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Brian Haley and am a new employee at the Autonerdz facitilty. I’ve been with Autonerdz just one week now and have found the experience to be very challenging, intimidating, and educational but mostly fun.
A little about myself; started out part time at a service station late in high school. Oil changes, minor tune, parts installer, etc. After high school I completed the Automotive Technology program at South Puget Sound Community College with an ATA degree. Worked at two different independent shops for about 15 years total. I then decided to give the educational field a try. Started teaching full time at my alma mater, SPSCC. I mostly taught Electronics and drivability, a very challenging yet rewarding experience. Was granted tenure after a few years but found the campus politics didn’t agree with me. After five years I decided to look for a new path and along came Autonerdz.
I have used Pico products extensively in the past with a great deal of success but was amazed at what I didn’t know. In just a few minutes of Tom’s guidance, I had the scope doing things I never thought possible. Is it wrong to get paid for having so much fun?
Looking forward to assisting and learning from all of you. Let me know if I can do anything to help.
Thanks,
Brian Haley

Hello Brian.
        I live to the north of Autonerdz. My name is Donald Gamble, I sign on here as fisher.  I dont have near the autmotive experience you do. Will you be contributing to these discussions?
   I have yet to buy a scope from Autonerdz. I plan on it sooner or later.

Brian is here for all of you.  Use him.  Feel free to talk to him when you call and give him a chance to assist.  He will surprise you with his Nerdiness.   

Thanks for the welcome John, no kids here. My wife and I met about 7 years ago and decided it was too late in life to take that on. We met having a mutual interest in boating; an interest that was short lived. We had a 28 footer, dual station, a lot of fun until I started watching the fuel gauge. Had a 100 gallon fuel tank using about 13 gallons per hour at 22 MPH. We decided to trade the boat in for a travel trailer and never looked back. Many of our friends and family have vacation property in Washington and we take advantage whenever possible. As a hobby I enjoy fitting older vehicles with modern technology, we used a 1966 Chevy C-20 to pull our travel trailer, equipped with Ford EDIS, Megasquirt controlling the TBI and timing, later model 350 engine, 4L60 transmission, and a Dana 60 3.73 rear. This truck from the factory; 283 CI, powerglide and 4:56 gears, got 7 MPG. The improvements more than doubled the fuel mileage (and power). My current project is a 1950 Chevy 3100 truck. I purchased the frame, cab and bed last March and so far installed the 283 out of my 66 Chevy, a turbo 350 and independent suspension front and rear borrowed from a 1985 jaguar XJ-S. I am currently fitting injector bungs into an old offenhauser intake, tricky job.  I hope this gives you an idea about me and my interests, looking forward to getting to know all of you.
Brian

I'll be there, looking forward to it.
