John
Brzezinski - Our Founder
John
Brzezinski possessed great entrepreneurial spirit and had
a vision to be an integral part of the automotive industry.
John
completed a degree in electrical engineering from the University
of Detroit in 1960. He then enrolled in a technical writing
program offered by Chrysler Corporation and worked on the
Redstone Missile project until completion.
Later,
John worked for General Electric Defense in Syracuse, N.Y,
as a writer, project manager and buyer. His duties included
writing defense contracts, and negotiating terms with suppliers.
During this time, he continued his education with many courses
in electronics from the University of Wisconsin, and later
through the masters program at Wayne State University.
In
1965, John moved back to his hometown in Michigan and worked
for LTV for many years. Longing to own and operate his own
business, John started freelance writing for the automotive
OEM's in the Detroit area in 1974. After building his reputation
as an outstanding technical writer of manuals and training
programs, he officially started S & J Tech Data Service
Company in 1976.
When
electronics hit the automotive industry, John capitalized
on the industry changes and began to seriously grow his business.
In addition to writing service manuals, he began developing
training programs to support automotive service technicians,
calling on his extensive electronics background. After working
on many training programs, he also recognized the need for
quality instructors to deliver these programs, and TTi was
formed.
John
led the growth of his company with a genuine interest in all
of his customers and especially his employees. He instilled
in them his own vision of a company dedicated to values, integrity
and quality, and a genuine love of the automotive industry.
John passed away in 1992, at the age of 56. The foundation
began by him still stands today, and has grown into a multi-national
organization, called TTi. John's great entrepreneurial spirit
lives on.
