There’s a quiet discipline in people who build their own path. For Robbie Berman, that path started with grease under his nails and a relentless curiosity about how things work.

In 1983, he opened his own collision-and-mechanical repair shop — one that grew into a nationally recognized business before he sold it to a larger chain.
