This is Personal! (with Mike O’Connor)

We ask the questions you wouldn't dare!

This past October, Mike O’Connor celebrated his 26th year with The Gemsen Group of Companies where he holds the post of Senior Vice President for both Evolution and Gemsen.  While our industry has many contenders to top the list of audio fanatic, when it comes to cars and the “12V” side of the business you’d be hard-pressed to top O’Conner for his passion for everything auto.  This week, Mike sits in the hot seat and answers all the questions that you’ve never asked!
