About Us

iii STARTED INSTALLING AUTO GLASS IN JANUARY OF 1973 WITH RELIABLE THIESEN GLASS IN SAN FRANCISCO.

IN 1974 I WENT TO WORK FOR WEST BAY GLASS AND THEN ON TO KAR KRAFT AUTO GLASS IN SAN FRANCISCO AND NAPA.

IN 1976 I WORKED FOR GATOR GLASS IN ALASKA AND IN 78 I WORKED FOR WINDSCREENS OBRIEN IN SYDNEY AUSTRALIA, THE AUSSIES WERE GREAT I REALLY ENJOYED THEM BUT MY VISA RAN OUT AND I HAD TO RETURN TO THE U.S..

I FOUND A PRODUCT IN AUSTRALIA THAT WAS SUPERIOR TO OURS AND IMPORTED IT FOR A FEW YEARS UNTIL THE INDUSTRY CONVERTED TO URETHANE. WHEN I RETURNED FROM AUSTRALIA I OPENED AUTO CRAFT GLASS IN NAPA .I SOLD AUTO CRAFT TO RETURN HOME TO TAKE CARE OF MY FATHER WHILE HE WAS DYING AND THEN WENT TO WORK FOR SAFELITE, WHICH WAS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE QUALITY OF THEIR GLASS. I OPENED GREAT WESTERN GLASS IN NAPA AND MARIN IN 1985 AND SOLD IT IN 2001. THEN I WENT TO WORK FOR DIAMOND AUTO GLASS IN PHOENIX AND GERBER GLASS AND COLLISION. I ALSO WORKED FOR SAFELITE AGAIN FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS BUT THEIR GLASS WAS WORSE THAN EVER AND I COULD NOT TOLERATE THE QUALITY OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT. I THEN OPENED ANTHEM AUTO GLASS IN ANTHEM ARIZONA. WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE TO MOVE BACK TO THE NORTH BAY I DID SO AS QUICK AS I COULD. WORKING OUTSIDE IN PHOENIX IN THE SUMMERTIME IS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
