Corky Zaron Service Manager 669 State Circle Ann Arbor, MI 48108 e-mail Corky (734) 761-1081	Corky Zaron's goal is to never have a bad day. As Swedish Engineering's Service Manager, he hopes his positive attitude, 29 years of auto industry experience, and the skillful hands of co-workers ensures that customers have a smile as big as his. "My job is easy because of the talent I work with," he said. Corky originally set out to be a dentist, but decided he'd rather look under the hood of autos than into people's mouths. He began his automotive career in 1971, and joined Swedish Engineering in 1995. A single parent to Larissa and Travis, Corky is also devoted to his girlfriend Lisa, "the love of his life." For fun (and exercise), Corky travels the country with a competition in-line speed skating team. To read more about Corky: http://www.swedishengineering.com/corky.html
Jason Gary Business Manager 669 State Circle Ann Arbor, MI 48108 (734) 761-1081 e-mail Jason	Jason was hired as Parts Manager, but has now been promoted to Business Manager of Swedish Engineering. Jason is no stranger to Volvos. His mother had the same Volvo for 25 years, and he's spent the last several years slowly restoring a 1967 122. "I really enjoy the product, and the people I work with," said Jason, "We're like a family here." Jason is single, conservative and migrates toward what he describes as quieter pursuits such as classical jazz and reading, at least when he's not playing his drums.
Mark Newbound Master Technician 669 State Circle Ann Arbor, MI 48108 (734) 761-1081	Whether Mark Newbound is repairing Volvos, swinging golf clubs or playing drums for his country-rockabilly band "Driving Sideways," the Master Technician calls himself competitive and a perfectionist. "I see detail in everything," he said. Born mechanically inclined, Mark learned the art of mechanical repair from his father. He worked for a gas station as a high school student, then in 1975 began a 30+ year automotive career, nine of those at a local Volvo dealership. Twelve years ago, Mark joined the Swedish Engineering team. "The emphasis is on the customer at Swedish Engineering, not on the final bill," he said. "The goal is to get the cars fixed right the first time around." Mark is married to Connie, and has two children, Nakema and Chad.
Kyle Brodie Master Technician 669 State Circle Ann Arbor, MI 48108 (734) 761-1081	Kyle Brodie is a grown-up, but tries not to act like one. He rides dirt bikes, drives dune buggies and loves driving in blizzard conditions. "The more snow, the more hazardous the road, the happier I am," he said. Kyle enjoys taking things apart and fixing them, especially Volvos. He worked in an auto repair shop as a teen, then spent nine years as a mechanic for the local Volvo dealership. Kyle has been with Swedish Engineering since 1991. But you won't find a speck of grease under this Master Mechanic's fingernails because he's a self-confessed clean freak. Kyle and wife Debra, along with Ashley, Matt and Daniel keep busy. "We ride around on things. It's our source of fun."

Benjamin Meza Network Administrator 669 State Circle Ann Arbor, MI 48108 e-mail Ben (734) 761-2265	Benjamin Meza isn't exactly a chip off the old engine block. While the son of Swedish Engineering owners, Joe and Barbara, works for his parents' company, he's more focused on computers than Volvos. At age eight, he was programming in Basic on an old Atari 800XL computer. By age 13 Benjamin had taught himself all about computers by immersion. At 14, Benjamin was hired by a small computer company in Atlanta, Georgia, building, repairing and installing computers-and learning the ins and outs of network operating systems and configurations including Local and wide area networks. Today, Benjamin is solving the company's computer, e-mail and Internet service problems, working on an on-line Volvo parts ordering system and a virtual private network to link all three locations. Benjamin is a graduate of Eastern Michigan University.
