The Panel:
Michael Gallini is a dad of 5. 3 girls and 2 boys. I came into the automotive industry in late 2001 by accident LOL. Worked for BMW for 7 years where I became a master technician, I left BMW in 2008 and went to Porsche where I got my Porsche certification. I left Porsche to give the independent world a shot. For as long as I can remember I've dreamed of being a business owner, fast forward to 2015 my dream came true. I went into ownership only from what I had seen and heard, little did I know there was that much more that I didn't know, hired a business coach in august of 2019.

He started Nealey Auto Service, Edgewater, MD, out of his one bay garage in 2011 after his racing career came to an end. After he married his wife, Stephanie, in 2014. AJ and Stephanie decided to focus all energy and resources to grow Nealey Auto Service. It all started with taking RLO Training’s Guerilla Shop Management course.
