Terry’s career has been focused on auto body repair. He first owned a body shop for several years, in Savage, MN. Terry then took his expertise and became an educator at Century College, Central Lakes College and finally at Hennepin Technical College. Due to health concerns, he retired at the age of 57. Because of Terry’s shop knowledge, he could fix and build anything that was placed in front of him. Terry was a “Jack-of-all-trades.”
