About Me

---

The Strongoli Auto Restoration website is both a portfolio showing a small fraction of  the what I've accomplished during my career as well as my current company name.  My first experience in the  professional automotive industry was as a bodyman.  This gave me foundational experience with assembly & disassembly, frame measuring and straightening, panel repair, and painting.

After several years of working, having always had an interest in classic and custom cars, I learned about Wyoming Technical Institute (WyoTech).  I enrolled and moved to Laramie for two years, taking many of the classes they offered, including Street Rod, Chassis Fabrication, High Performance Powertrains, and Trim & Upholstery.

Now, having the base knowledge I was missing before, I began my career in the specialty automotive industry.  Early on, I had the opportunity to work in shops specializing in classic car & hot rod repair, as well as race car fabrication.  A move to Colorado led me to my next job opportunity.  An area I knew nothing about- British Sports Cars.  20 years later, I'm an expert in the repair and restoration of British automobiles.  Through those years I was also able to become familiar with several with several European marques from outside of England, including Lamborghini, Mercedes, and Alfa Romeo.  More excitingly, I've been involved with some unique projects.  Working on a variety of rare pre-war cars, exotic sports cars, custom cars, and even one-off concept cars.

All of these opportunities and experiences have led me here.  A place that allows me to work on projects more one on one.  Better cars.  Better relationships.  Better life.
