At Painless, Lance spent a brief period back in production before he took a management role overseeing the Technical Support Call Center for the next 18 months. His technical skills culminated in developing and marketing the Perfect Engine Management System that sold over $250,000 in its first year. He acted as the Technical Trainer for Painless’ Dealer and Exhibition Seminars educating and advising the community in over 30 seminars every year. Lance was appointed Media Liaison functioned as the communications specialist for all major industry events attending most of the NSRA and Good-Guys shows, Hot Rod Power Tour and SEMA. He has also been seen on such television programs as Rides, Wrecks to Riches, and Overhaulin’. As a prominent member of SEMA’s Young Executives Network, as a Select Committee Member and slated to become Chairman in 2009, Lance is promoting the future of our industry.
