Here is Michael’s Bio:
Hello AdlandPro Members,
My name is Michael Rogers; I live in Illinois, about 25 minutes
away from St.Louis, Mo. I have been happily married for over 28 years.
I have 3 children, Lisa 28, Robert 20, and my baby Krista 18. No more
school lunches to pack, Amen!
I worked in Construction as a union labor for over 15 years, and still
carry my union card. When construction got really slim, went to college
for automotive (always loved working on cars, yes a gearhead)! After 2
years, received my AAS in Automotive Technology, and also took and passed
all my tests in ASE, so I am also a Master ASE auto technician.
Opened and ran my own auto repair shop called Rogers Performance, here
in town for around 7 years. Was doing pretty well, when both of my parents
started having health problems. Do to the time lost at the shop because of
the Doctor's appointments, surgery's, hospital stays, I closed the shop. The
bills were starting to pile up, from all the times I could not be there to
work. Obviously, if you’re not there, working on the cars, you’re making no money.
My Father who was also my best friend, died June 16th, 2004, just after his 78th
birthday, had devastated me. I still miss him very much, he was a great man,
and I totally respected him. Now, my Mother who is a widow needs my time
more than she used to, and she gets it.
I chose to start working here at home, online, to help and spend time with
my family. I was lucky enough to live my dream of running my own auto repair
shop, and it was just time to put it away, and help the one's who had helped
me. I have no regrets at all about it, and if I could go back, I would do it
the same way again.
I am very glad to be a member here at AdlandPro, this is truly a great online
community, with alot of fantastic people here.
Thank you AdlandPro, and all of my friends here, God Bless each and every one of you.
Respectfully,
Michael Rogers
