12 Kentucky Trucker Please tell us about hosting WreckMaster classes. WreckMaster is a premier training company for the towing and recovery industry. After becoming certified with WreckMaster in 2004, I wanted to ensure that tow operators had access to the classes to further their careers and give them the knowledge to make them better operators. I began hosting them in conjunction with the Towing & Recovery Association of Kentucky. I try to host a class of some level four times a year. How have you served your community? I support our local community by donating time and resources to student events at local schools, such as “Explore a Truck” and “Transportation Days.” We also delivered Christmas presents donated by citizens of Louisville to Bowling Green and a fire apparatus to Western Kentucky after the recent tornadoes. One major contribution is to the local fire departments. We donate vehicles, and they use them to practice extrication techniques. Please tell us a little about your family. My wife and I have been married for 16 years. We work together in the business. My stepdaughter, Sophia, works as a video journalist at Oxford University in England and my son, Ryan, is a freshman at Louisville Male High School. How do you like to spend your free time? My family and I enjoy attending baseball games for major and minor league teams, traveling and concerts. Do you have any interesting hobbies? I have become a historian of antique towing and recovery-related items, old wreckers and accessories, and antique emergency lighting. I started restoring some of our emergency lights from the 40s and 50s. Now I collect all kinds. I also collect Lego Technic Machines.
