Wisconsin Collector Car

March 2005 - Present


Combining my passions for classic cars and computers, I created Wisconsin Collector Car in order to provide a place for those in the classic car hobby and cars in general to share ideas, stories, and advice. In addition, Wisconsin Collector Car serves as the single most comprehensive guide to all car shows and automotive events in Wisconsin. I document these shows each year with a library of photos from each as well as personal accounts and feedback for the shows from both site members and myself. I have also worked with the Quaker Steak and Lube restaurant to create a nostalgic classic car cruise night event weekly during the summer for the past two years. Wisconsin Collector Car began as a set of simple HTML pages and has evolved into a rich site driven by a powerful content management system.
