Q: Tell me a little about yourself?
Posted by: Curtis A. Wright
Bill Cornelison – Owner of www.extremeprelude.com
1. Could you tell me little bit about yourself?
My name is Bill Cornelison and I was born and raised in the Charlotte Mecklenburg area. I attended the University of North Carolina Charlotte and received a bachelor’s degree in Business. I am the owner of www.extremeprelude.com where I specialize in selling OEM, and aftermarket JDM parts for 1997 to 2001 Honda Prelude parts. I have always had a passion for cars. My favorite hobbies include spending time with my family and friends and I also enjoy working out and camping.
1. Can you tell me a brief history about your business?
My name is Larry Mason. I purchase some property around 1998 for $3500. At the time I had an old store building that was a tire shop. The building was rundown and I was unable to fix it and I had it destroyed. In 2001 I erected a building 30 ft wide and 75 ft long; a metal building. And I built a parking lot out front of the building.
2. Who leased the building?
1. Tell me a little bit about how you started working at DTCC.
I was kind of forced into the position, actually. I was functioning at the Clinical Coordinator at the time that a state audit was conducted of EMS course files. It was determined that the then Program Director was reporting fraudulent course records to the state Office of EMS and the North Carolina Community College System. Upon his termination, I was interiorly promoted.
2. Could you give me some examples to illustrate the challenges you faced when starting your new position?
