Don Woller grew up in Montague, Michigan and was fascinated with cars and mechanics since birth. As a youngster, he never missed a chance to wander through the local junk yards. In 7th grade, Don wouldn’t take his homework from school, instead he would take a 57 Chevy, work most of the night repairing it, and then back to school the next morning. By graduation time, Don was a true “gear head”.

Following his military service, Don was in a serious auto accident, but recovered. However, his love for cars still strenghtened. Having his own body shop, Don soon came to the conclusion that there must be a better future than working on rusty cars in the inclimate weather.
