Team Members & Their Roles
(In No Particular Order)Team Members & Their Roles
Matt McGowan
The other half of team M & M, Matt performed critical advisory roles such as car assessment, on-site planning and post-build coordination. Matt's years of industry experience and local knowledge are invaluable. This year he played a key role in diagnosing a variety of issues.
                     Cody Kline
Cody was a crucial part of the project planning team and upon arrival, dove into various aspects of the project. Cody didn't have to paint anything this year but he makes up for it by keeping Jen sane. He also showed an affinity for springing locks.
Wes Shiring
Wes is always game to learn and this year was no exception. One of the key projects was installing a 2Ps pre-88 suspension on their 87 convertible.
Tami George
Tami brings humor and moral support to every event and this one was no exception. She was a big help in prepping the suspension parts for their convertible.
Deb Salada
Deb first joined up with the group at the 1st Jim Gilbert Memorial Build and she has been a champion of the cause ever since. We're excited to give back to her generous spirit this year!
Greg Tripp
Chris Greg was everywhere a project was to be found. He helped in seat skin removal, diagnosis, suspension work and a variety of other projects while also ensuring everyone was well taken care of.
Fiero Brian
Brian kept things weird as usual. He also pitched in on many projects while also ensuring good stories.
Pat Roof
Pat replaced his water pump on his 85GT while also helping others perform a variety of repairs on their cars.
Brian Dearolf
The best part of Brian's weekend was his bonding with his new spark plug wires; however, he also pitched in across many projects while keeping things real - and delivering the PSLs!
Eric Schneck
One highlight of Hurricane Helene, at least for build attendees, was that Eric's concert got cancelled in Louisville Friday night so he got to bless us with his presence.
Fred Bartemeyer
Fred healed up in time to make the journey for his second Memorial Build weekend. He scooted around to advise on several projects throughout the weekend.
Sarah M
Sarah again took the opportunity to learn about various repairs that were being performed and also lent a hand with .
Cameron Rose
Cameron's first memorial build has been memorable for many reasons and we know he'll be back next year. He had a hand in nearly every project and a smile on his face the entire time.
Penny Woodward
Penny was excited to leave with a fully lit instrument panel, working trunk release and a few other upgrades. She also learned a lot and was a big help to many this weekend.
Dale McCoy
Dale's first memorial build resulted in new dew wipes, repaired headlight motors and a whole lot of fun. He did not go home with a second Fiero but still had a blast!
Joe Aponick
Joe came with the goal of replacing shift and select cables but also managed to get his seat repaired and get some hands on time on Wes and Tami's convertible, as well as a role in other projects.
Alan Ferris
Alan brought the most-complicated end result - an 88GT in need of a timing chain; however, he went home with the clear diagnosis he was seeking and another round of fun with his Southern Fiero friends.
Jestin Pickardt
Jestin's welding skills are only scratching the surface of all he brings to the table. We're excited to welcome him back this year!
Tony Wells
Tony made a brief appearance but evreyone enjoyed the opportunity to visit with him. Thankfully, he is close by and the roads were great for cruising!
Greg Haggerty
Greg was a 2nd year attendee and this year we got to dig into his 86SE. After a tune up, he was running much better!
Bryan Hurley
Build first-timer Bryan Hurley ventured down from PA with a truck full of parts and a smile on his face. He even found time to fit in the city's Mischief & Magic Festival while he was here.
Noelle
Another first time attendee, Noelle, ventured South with her dad. She was eager to take it all in and also made sure to pay attention for some future projects on her own car.
Bob Trezeciak
Local Fiero kit car owner Bob T brought his Corvette out to the build but was excited to see a lot of Fieros in one place. He is looking forward to gettin his fuel system up to speed to get it back on the road soon.
Charles Roswell
Charles was another first time attendee and recent Fiero purchaser. His beautiful 87GT got some attention at the build and some suggestions for future tweaks.
Lori Roswell
Lori joined her husband Charles on a trip down from Herndon, VA in their "new" to them 87GT. We're pretty sure she'll be a Fiero owner herself soon.
Sam Marquardt
Sam was excited to attend his first build alongside Dale and Brian. Thankfully, we found him a place to sleep because even at age 20, sleeping in a Fiero sounds like something that would hurt one's back. He also managed to test Cody's locksmith skills and land a new starter.
Jenn Pickardt
Jenn is determined to get the trailer here for this year's build and is ready to withstand the madness!
Matt Dorniak
The longest distance award would have been given to Matt Dorniak had one existed. He came in from Tacoma, Washington for another weekend of Fiero fun. Thankfully, 88GTs and 2.9s don't work as carry-ons.
