    Hah! I came in and bugged Wade halfway through his first day on the job, really enjoyed talking to him and gave me a sense of confidence that I haven't felt anywhere about the issue I brought up to him. He will definitely be seeing my car after the winter....

    He's come recommended to me from some very close friends. I just want him to let me help...I'm much too curious to just have things done.

    Congratulations on an incredible hire. Wade completed a major on my 456gt in September of this year and did an exceptional job.

    Wade was Ferrari of Atlanta's #1 since...wade knows. His never used handle here is FOAtech. In every maintenance conversation I've ever had with someone in Atlanta, one of two names comes up, and Wade's is one.

    Here's a little blurb on Wade:

    Wade was first certified as a Ferrari technician in 1996, with continuing certifications on new models as they were launched, among many other certifications listed below. His passion for all things with four wheels that go fast was born in high school, when he began building racecars as a hobby. This inspiration has evolved over the course of his career making him indispensable with extensive experience in re-machining/re-making unavailable parts, as well as being highly skilled in rebuilding cylinder heads. Many from across the country employ his expertise in this arena.

    Over the years, Wade has also made a name for himself in handling vintage Ferraris such as a 288 GTO, a 250 GTE, a 308 Comp car, and a 348 Competizione (to name a few) with the utmost care including intensive restoration projects. Another one of his great achievements was rebuilding the engine, transaxle, brakes, race exhaust and fuel system on a 1972 365 GTB4 Alloy Competizione (only 5 were built).

    From 1995 until this year, Wade was an integral part of Ferrari of Atlanta's service department where he has become highly regarded in the local Ferrari community. There, he also served as Crew Chief of the Challenge team. Though he has acquired much knowledge and experience, Wade has never lost sight of his desire to develop himself as a technician and share his skillset with those who would learn from him. We're thrilled to be able to support his aspirations to do so.
