I know how important it is to voice my opinion and take action if I’m not satisfied or would like to improve a situation. I learned the hard way a long time ago how true an old saying is “a promise is a comfort to a fool”. I could wait for someone or association to step up and echo my concerns with the Auto collision industry lack of direction or resolve …however that has not happened since the twenty plus years I’ve been working in the industry.

Being a person of strong conviction I decide at the beginning of 2008 to launch a simple web site www.tektalk.net that introduces DPM - Dontek Proposal Manual and create this blog http://dontek.tektalk.net journaling my daily activities as I drill down into participants’ point of view concerning the auto collision industry.

As a participant in the auto collision industry, what are you doing or your thoughts on to improve one of the oldest and economically strongest industry’s future directions?

I like where you are headed. I think we all agree that something needs to change in our industry, but we just don't know how to make a difference. I commend you for taking action. I look forward to checking out your blog.
