This is Barry-Or aka Barry Cameron, I am very lucky to have found Lil, my wonderful lifelong
companion who has made my life whole. 12 years ago we were blessed with a 
beautiful daughter, Nicole, who has made her Mom and I very proud. We live 
here in Clackamas, Oregon, a growing suburb SE of Portland.
I worked at a service station during high school that mainly specialized
in Automatics but also did all other aspects of automotive repair. My main 
responsibility was pumping gas. I can "still", hear the driveway bell 
(DING-DING)!! I learned a lot helping in the service bays. I tried assembly
line work at a mobile home manufacturer and learned quickly that that wasn't for me. Got a job in the used car department at a Chevrolet dealer and gained a lot of
experience repairing the trade-in `s and getting them ready for resale. Later I 
transferred to the truck shop and found myself working as a professional. 
Ended up having a disagreement with the boss at the dealer, and the next 
thing I knew, I was working here at home. I've been working alone here for
19 years now. Actually, I `m no longer working alone, I found iATN and now I`m
working with techs all over the world, thanks to the ingenuity of Brent 
Black. I am truly amazed with the integrity, the knowledge, and the 
willingness of the iATN members to help each other to make the auto repair 
industry more professional and efficient than ever before. 

Brent forgot one thing though, there is no "addiction" warning on the live 
conferencing page!

Barry Welcome to the page!

Welcome Brian-Pa aka Brian Gustin.

Been wrenching , sorta...:), since I was ten and tore apart the family lawnmower...:)
(Boy, was DAD PO'ed!!!!) started my own lawnmower shop at 13, had that until '93. (got bored with it, SSDD, ya know?).  In '88 got my PA inspection license, been foolin with cars and trucks ever since.  I did a 1 1/2 year stint at a HD fleet shop, started getting my ASE certs then.  Now I am CMTT and all auto certs except for auto trannys and A/C...I intend to change that situation this spring, becoming CMAT and CMTT....:) Yippee!
I fell in love with auto trade and have been at it ever since.  My Sponsorship on iATN, while it has lapsed lately,  will be changing that pretty soon, as soon as we get
some financial problems outta the way...:) Meanwhile, you  can visit my web page at http://www.geocities.com/Baja/Mesa/4607
