WORK EXPERIENCES:
December 30, 2000 – 2005
2004 Jaguar XJ8 vehicle Restoration
I rebuilt a 2004 Jaguar XJ8 four door vehicle. I purchased the need parts from four different salvage yards. In many cases I had to remove the needed parts myself from the vehicle in the yard. NOTE: care had to be taken to ensure the parts selected from the salvage yard vehicle’s had not been in an accident. Some of the parts purchased were: an engine, transmission, drive shaft, rear axle, four fenders, and the body. I installed the purchased parts on the jaguar XJ8 frame, I had previously purchased, which was sitting in my back yard. NOTE: Installing the parts on the frame was the easy part, saving the money to buy the needed parts was the hardest part. In spite of these concerns, I rebuilt the Jaguar, I am now driving. In fact, it runs so good it is the only vehicle I want to drive!

I completed the requirements for the Masters of Education in Industrial Education May, 1972. I accepted the offer to be the Director of The Auto Mechanic Department at Norfolk State College, Norfolk Virginia. To reduce the program’s high dropout rate, I revised the first two years of the program. I develop an automotive program which produced students with saleable automotive skills in 2 years! My program was a complete success. This automotive program graduated more two year mechanics and four year teachers, than any other automotive program in the history of Norfolk States College. My student’s success in the automotive industry caused Ford, General Motors, and other automotive Companies to look at my program and at me. They all made offers to join their companies, I chose Ford Motor Co.
