Mark's Story
Life
After graduation from West Seneca West High, I attended SUNY Morrisville and SUNY College at Buffalo and earned degrees in Automotive and Industrial Technology respectively. After a few years at Carborundum in Niagara Falls, I joined an automotive turbocharger manufacturer named Garrett (now part of Honeywell) in Southern California. After 4 years there, Garrett moved me to Detroit where I got a chance to work with the Big 3. In '92, Garrett moved me back to WNY where I worked out of my home as a Factory Representative for the eastern region. In 2001, I was downsized after a 22 year career. After another 4 years of traveling to automotive consulting jobs in PA, SC, and IN, I was able to retire...Expand for more
early at age 50. My home is still in Elma, NY
In 2000 at age 45, I finally got married (for the first time) to a girl named Ann Augustine from Williamsville who also was never married before. Ann is now disabled with MS, but with our early retirements and no children due to our late marriage, we have had the luxury to travel extensively and have a wonderful relationship. There's nothing like the gift of time to share with each other, when we see most of our friends chasing their tails these days with kids in college and mortages to pay.
Ann has convinced me to sell 3 of my 5 classic cars, but I still have an old Bonneville and Cutlass. Now there's room in the garage for one more, so who knows!
