1989 - Gold Medallion Parts Manager for Ford Motor Company for the St. Louis region - earning a trip for two for a week in Cancun that year for the win - top 1% of Parts Managers in the country. Had 2 top 15% finishes along with the 1% finish the 5 years that I ran that dealership's parts operation.

When I had my NAPA store, I won 3rd place in the 'Counterman Olympics' for the St. Louis region at the annual marketing conference.

Met Rodney Carrington at a meet and greet at his show in Springfield one year.

Literally bumped into Roger Penske at the Mid-America Truck Show in Louisville, KY one year - he was there with Mark Martin - crowd was gathering and pushed us into each other - he was very nice - smiled and wanted to know if I was OK - which was funny, because if you've seen Roger, he's not very tall or big and I dwarfed him, although I'm not that big either. We shook hands said a few words and parted - it was one of those - I've seen that guy somewhere.... then it dawned on me who he was - LOL.

and there was this......
