MEMBER NEWS

also as a technical session organizer and
presenter. I have also participated in SAE
Detroit Section activities, including new
vehicle presentations, tours, and networking
events. I especially enjoyed showing vehicles
at the Dream Cruise Networking Night and
Car Show.
Has any single SAE Member been
particularly helpful or inspirational to you?
Two in particular come to mind. Dr. Naeim
Henein, Wayne State University
Distinguished Professor, Mechanical
Engineering, and SAE Fellow. I was but one
of Dr. Henein's many students; however, he
left a distinct impression on me through his
teaching of thermal sciences, engine
combustion, and emission control. More
recently, the immediate past Chair of the
SAE MHC, Mr. Martin Rowell, has been
particularly helpful. Martin has inspired me
to enhance my role in the MHC. He has
shown his confidence in me by nominating
me as his successor. His leadership and
enthusiasm is contagious.

I am sure that this will come as no
surprise to the SAE community: I am an
auto enthusiast. I have an interest in sports
cars and classic vehicles, automotive
literature, and automobilia. I am a past
judge for the Jaguar Affiliates Group of
Michigan Concours and I volunteer for the
Concours d'Elegance of America. I enjoy
working on and showing my own vehicles as
well, particularly at local events that have a
connection to a worthy cause.

What do you like to do in your free time?
Sharing time with family is foremost. We
enjoy travel, the arts, and exploring new
places to dine. I am always interested in
learning something new; it can vary from a
historical lecture at the local library to Model
T driver education at the Gilmore Car
Museum.

Any final thoughts?
Having lived my entire life in Southeast
Michigan, I have been surrounded by the
auto industry. It has always been a passion
of mine and part of my DNA. I was working
on neighbors' automobiles before I was able
to drive. No one ever complained. I hope
that they weren't just being kind.
