Paul D'Adamo, owner of Bill's Auto Parts, Cumberland, R.I., is passionate about education.

In 2008, D'Adamo, with a background as a Microsoft corporate trainer, filmed a training video on Microsoft Excel for enrolled companies of the Automotive Recyclers Association University (ARAU). He presented the video's training at the 2008 ARA convention in Kansas City, Mo.

"His background has helped bring his skills to the ARAU for all auto recyclers," said Ginny Whelan, ARAU president, Fairfax, Va. "I cannot thank Paul enough for his support and sharing his expertise with the auto recycling industry."
