Terry is originally from Washington, D.C. He is fifty-eight and married to his beautiful, loving wife Ria. Terry has two sons in their twenties.
Terry’s first job was the United States Army (Logistics). Before he went to active duty, he was in the Army Reserves. His unit went to Kaiserslautern, Volgelweh, Ramstein, and Frankfurt on humanitarian missions. During active duty (19999-2005), Terry was stationed at Ft. Benning, Georgia.
While attending Colorado Technical University, he studied Business Administration and Logistics and Supply Chain Management.
Later, Terry received his Veterans Affairs Training Certification for Nursing. He presently works for the Department of Veterans Affairs in the emergency room.
In his spare time, he loves watching American football. Terry has been a Pittsburgh Steelers fan since the 1970’s. Of course, he also likes to “submerge” himself and Ria into the “automotive culture surrounding German cars.”
Terry’s favorite place in the World is Germany. He stated, “Germany is a beautiful place that reminds me of an enhanced United States. Germans love cars and nature, and this is who I am in a nutshell (to include people).”
As far as favorite foods, Indonesian and Mexican cuisines are his choices. His favorite music includes jazz, electronica/downtempo and 1980’s Rock & Roll. Terry had a list of favorite TV shows: The Band of Brothers, The Twilight Zone, The Game of Thrones, The Wire, Top Gear, Batman: The Animated Series, and Sopranos. Terry enjoys making people laugh, which makes him laugh. He loves Rottweilers and German Shepherds but does not presently have any.
His favorite author is Sun Tzu. The Art of War distills Sun Tzu’s counsel on “how to secure victory through foresight, adaptability, and precise timing.”
Terry loves playing Play Station’s Grand Turismo and driving on the Nurburgring. It makes him feel like he is “really on the track since this is a real driving simulator that even professional race car drivers commonly use.”
In the past, Terry has owned a 2014 MB C250 and a 2006 MB S500. He presently has a 2002 MB CLK55 Coupe, a 2002 MB CLK55 AMG Convertible, a 2002 MB E55 AMG, and a Porsche 911. (I am getting the feeling that he has a Need for Speed.) If he could own any Mercedes, Terry would like a 1986 W124 AMG Hammer Coupe 6.0L.
