Hi, I’m Derek. I’m writing this bit about myself. My coworkers were always making guesses towards what would increase revenue, complaining that membership usage was too high, and lacking concern about throughput. I’m a data driven person and needed to verify or discredit their claims. So I made a tool and just kept adding to it. The tool you use is an adaptation of the exact same metrics we use now.

I also really enjoy cars, the outdoors, and car washing. I own seven station wagons, none newer than 2006. After owning new vehicles, I found more enjoyment for myself in building and taking care of simple aging cars. I’ve raced Subarus on frozen lakes, ATV dirt tracks, and offroaded them at offroad Jeep parks just because it’s a challenge and something different. Before beginning car washing 7 years ago, I ran my own IT business called Dresnet Technology LLC which is making a comeback for marketing this tool. As for car washing, I started as a tech for PDQ touch free machines. While teching PDQ machines, I took an interest in operational efficiency and getting the most out of our machines. My role changed over time until I became involved in one of the first Dencar customer installs, later totaling 36 kiosks installed and maintained.
