Totally fair question, and one I would ask if I were in your position.

Quick and dirty background:  
5/93-6/98 - owner of Black Forest Motorsport in Knoxville, TN (mostly an indy Mercedes shop)  
5/93 - 6/98 - tech at European Motor Werks in Knoxville, TN (worked on everything Euro, and needed this as a full-time gig, since I wasn’t quite as business savvy then as I am now)  
6/98 - 11/99 - lead Audi/Porsche tech at Ken Garff VW/Audi/Porsche in Provo, UT  
11/99 - 11/03 - Service mgr/lead technician/General Manager at Lamborghini Salt Lake City  
1/05 - 5/05 - lead tech/diagnostician at Sutherland’s Service in Pittsford, NY  
6/05 - 2/07 - Service mgr/lead tech for Premium Auto on Sheridan (that is, until I found out my boss was a dirty f\*\*k)
