Skip then went on to grad school, and in 1972, after graduating with his degree in Engineering, went full-time with Little Foreign Car Garage. As Skip says, "I decided to work at LFCG until I figured out what to do with a degree in Engineering. After awhile, I realized I was using my degree every day, and I'm doing what I love!"
Skip's outside interests include basketball, sailing, tennis, racing, and gardening.
Speaking of racing, in 2001, Skip drove in 4 races, winning two and coming in 2nd in a third! He also participated in a three hour endurance race. Starting from last place in a field of 43, Skip finished the race in 9th place! An incredible display of driving.
