This weeks interview is with Rick Schmidt, President and CEO of National Parts Depot. Rick will be a monthly contributor to the show over the coming year so I thought it would be a great idea to kick things off with a full blown interview.

By far, one of the biggest things I’ve ever wanted to know about Rick as what it was like to (literally) grow up inside the founding of NPD and whether it was something he had always wanted to be a part of. He was honest to say that as a high schooler the answer was probably…no! But, interestingly enough, cars were in his blood – and always had been – and after a couple of years of college when his father needed him to head to Michigan to get their store there back on track, he left school and got the job done. That experience helped him to realize that it was actually a pretty great fit for him, and that he and his father Jim honestly worked pretty well together. 20 plus years later he’s never looked back and has been in the family business ever since.
