Todd Colchin realized his love of cars could earn him a living when he began working at a gas station in high school. During summers in college, he worked on cars in his garage to earn tuition money. He started Colchin Automotive and Diesel, Inc. the month he graduated from Colorado State University, with a degree in Business Administration, in 1984. Since then he has developed his passion, and his business, with constant reading, studying and training. He has earned and maintained ASE Master Technician status, as well as a degree in Automotive Management.

When not working, Todd loves to take advantage of living in the West. He rides off-road motorcycles and mountain bikes in addition to jogging and camping with his wife and two sons.
