DEDICATED TO PROGRESS – Brian Collins Brian Collins has worked with automotive recyclers for over 35 years, when he came into the industry in 1984 as a
field installer and, later, VP of Sales for AutoInfo. While working with the new Yard Management Computer Systems, he discovered the lack of and need for a centralized source for the computerized forms, tags and industry-specific consumable supplies. In 1988 he founded Commercial Forms, for which he is President, to serve these needs of auto- motive recyclers. He has been an ARA associate member and annual convention attendee since 1990.
PULLING HIS WEIGHT – Gary Lindros Gary Lindros has been involved in the car industry for most of his life. He was first exposed to the industry while spending
time at his family’s used car lots, washing and detailing cars. He later spent summers helping out at the family’s transmission shops. After college and several years working in both the paper and telecommunications industries, Gary returned to the car business. He began working for the family’s u-pull-it facility, Ace Pick A Part, located in Jacksonville, Florida in 1996 as a cashier and inventory clerk. He ascended to Vice President and is in charge of daily operations at Ace’s 30-acre facility. He also serves the current president of the Florida Auto Dismantlers & Recyclers Association (FADRA).
LIFE OF INDUSTRY SERVICE – Norman Wright Norman Wright, owner of Stadium Auto Parts, purchased the facility from his father in 1971. Today, Stadium is one of
the top auto recycling facilities in Colorado, with two locations and over 30 employees. It celebrated 75 years of busi- ness in 2020. Stadium is a longstanding member of the ARA and Colorado Auto Recyclers Association (CAR), to name a few. It is an ARA CAR Certified and ARA Gold Seal facility, as well as a member of United Recycler’s Group (URG) and Premium Recycled Parts (PRP). Norman serves as a past president of both the CAR and the ARA. He served on ARA’s Board of Directors and has chaired numerous ARA committees including insurance, membership, and most notably as longstanding chair of the ARA Government Affairs and State Regulations Committees. He continues on to serve on the CAR Board of Directors and the ARA Governmental Affairs Committee.
