We have to say goodbye....

[Swanicyouth]

This is sad news. Todd is probably my favorite detailer... He is synonymous with BF and his articles are the best out there.

Hopefully he will remain active in detailing and still participate on the forum.

If your looking for a replacement; I vote for Ron.

April Fools is on April 1st, not July 2nd!

I am totally stunned by this news .....
I have thoroughly enjoyed Todd`s amazing contributions to this forum and everything he has done at PBMG. Getting to know him the last few couple of years at Detail Fest has certainly been a rewarding experience and his vast depth of knowledge will most definitely be missed by all of us.

Fellow Autopians-

Life is an interesting journey – I have been beyond lucky to be such a part of this unique thing we call detailing. I have witnessed it grow from its infancy to a full-fledged industry; first as an enthusiast, then as a professional, and finally as an integral part of the two largest companies responsible for the growth of detailing today – Classic Motoring Accessories & Palm Beach Motoring Group.

I never would have imagined that the 15-year old kid reading about car wax at the local library would one day earn a living helping others to make their cars shiny. It has been my biggest challenge thus far, and my proudest accomplishment. I took part of launching the former Truth In Detailing -which at the time challenged top detailing forums for traffic- as well as helping AutopiaForums grow from the a small community to the 2nd largest detailing forum. Simply put, it has been amazing.

Working for Palm Beach Motoring Group has been an awe-inspiring experience. To outsiders it is the largest high-end detailing E-tailer, but on the inside it is much more. The love each employee has for detailing and good business is equaled by their love for each other. PBMG is much more a family than a business, and I am honored to be a part of it. My love for them runs deep -how many (soon to be) former employee`s can say that?!

Thank you for a wonderful three years and keep creating WHIPLASH!
Todd

Is this some elaborate April fools joke in July?

Please say this isn`t so. This is just not nice to hear and totally has bummed me out on a wednesday.

I am severely bummed out, hopefully Todd`s presence online somewhere will be back right quick.

maybe Nick will be hanging out more here now though, but no one can replace Todd.

Todd I will miss you, please let us all know where we`ll be able to find you online!

[GearHead_1]

Wow, didn`t see this one coming. I thought that with BlackFire`s new site there might perhaps be a change but I didn`t see you going, Todd.

I wish you all the best in future. Take care.

[Todd@RUPES]

please let us all know where we`ll be able to find you online!

I will post here from time to time.

Todd,

I dont post much, more of a silent learning for a while now, reading your posts about new products and of course the "how to`s". I`m not a detailer, I`m one of those people that you have tought to keep my cars shiny. It has been thru your advise and others on this forum that has helped me get better and better.

I want to wish you the very best of luck in what ever comes your way. I hope that leaving PBMC doesnt mean leaving the forum (computers are almost every where you know), and your inspiration and teachings will continue.

I wish you the best Todd!
And thank you for teaching us a lot... and I really mean A LOT!

[Mike Phillips]

I`m happy for Todd, I`m not happy that he`s leaving us but he`s a dynamic guy with a lot of energy, talent and drive and I know he`ll be successful at anything he does in life.

He was a great addition to our team and will be missed but he has an exciting future waiting for him. Heck, I`m already looking forward to hearing about his next success!


Here`s a toast to you Todd!




Good luck and good fortune awaits you my friend!

[Todd@RUPES]

Best of luck Todd and hope to still you around on the forums.
