| Barbara presents a refreshing new approach to the automobile industry. She represents the population of people who are successful in their fields and is out to use her vast knowledge from years of experience in virtually all aspects of the auto industry to educate, inform and entertain the national consumer.
It’s to no surprise that she turned out mastering her expertise in the automotive field. She grew up on her family’s Texas ranch with 6 older brothers, tractors, motor cross vehicles and muscle cars that dominated her daily environment. During her high school years, in addition to taking cooking and domestic classes, Barbara also took a workshop program in auto repair and bodywork. Barbara’s love of the automobile has been her constant passion for as long as she can remember. When not at work, she loves the speed and thrill of racing anything she can get her hands on from participating in demolition derbies, racing dragsters to racing on dirt tracks using modified street cars. Barbara splits her time between the East coast and the West coast. Always a sport, she says “you can dress me up or dress me down and I feel comfortable both ways”. Barbara’s favorite hobbies and pastimes are fishing and a variety of other outdoor activities, hanging out with her yellow lab “Rocky”, watching and cheering on her favorite hometown football team “The Dallas Cowboys”, concerts, weekend getaways, running 3 miles a day, and cooking with her mad skills that she obtained by cooking for her 6 older brothers growing up on their ranch. She also likes to grab a sporting event whenever possible and woof down some naughty fat filled food as she calls it while also enjoying a longneck. On screen and off, Barbara has an enticing charisma, charming wit and the ability to welcome every personality. Her energy is boundless, which is matched only by her ambition and strong desire to succeed in empowering women and men about their automobiles. Barbara’s career is in the fast lane. As of October 2006, Barbara signs a deal with a major production company in Hollywood to co-produce and star in her own reality show. In Barbara’s words: “Being able to educate someone and give them the confidence necessary to feel secure enough to know they are not being taken advantage of when their car is being repaired gives me a complete feeling of accomplishment. Whether it be the corporate executive, the stay at home mom, or the teenager with their first car, I will be able to inform women and men on the “how to’s” regarding their vehicles. I will touch on the simplest task, such as checking the oil and address major mechanical issues such as transmission failure. Buyers will be informed how to check out a used car before you buy it and the advantages of various new car models. I will also have a question and answer segment for readers to write in with their questions, which will be informative to them and the other readers.” |
