About Wayne

A Life of Service, Work, Family, and New Ideas

I'm E. Wayne Reed, a retired automotive professional, entrepreneur, Vietnam-era veteran, and lifelong learner. I've always believed in hard work, honest relationships, helping others succeed, and embracing change.

My journey began in the automotive industry, where I became an ASE Master Certified Technician, owned service stations, and founded Computer Tune. Along the way, I had the privilege of working with outstanding people, helping businesses grow, and serving in leadership positions within the automotive service industry.

During the Vietnam era, I served our country in Okinawa and Vietnam. Those experiences helped shape my appreciation for our military, our veterans, and the freedoms we enjoy.

My interests eventually expanded into real estate, storytelling, and technology. Today, through Heritage Wars, I enjoy preserving military history with stories, humor, and camaraderie. Through Small Business SI Solutions, I'm exploring how artificial intelligence and emerging technology can help small businesses succeed.

Family has always been central to my life. I'm blessed with children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who remind me that there's always something new to learn and another story worth sharing.

These days, I enjoy spending quiet mornings outdoors with my little companion, Jackie, appreciating nature and thinking about whatever new idea comes next.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you find something here that inspires you, helps you, or simply makes you smile.
