About Anderson Diesel

I have been working on diesel engines for over 40 years. Shortly after graduating from high school, I completed a two-year diesel and heavy equipment course at Olympia Technical Community College (now Olympic College), and started at Wrights Marine on Lake Union in the late 1970s.

From about 1985 to 2000 I worked on Volvo Penta heavy diesel motors in Seattle and in Bristol Bay, Alaska for Alaska Marine and Marine Matrix. I then went to work for Hatton Marine as a mechanic and for the last few years I was the technical supervisor working on all the industrial Scania engines. I also worked on Volvo, John Deer, Cummins, Yanmar, Northern Lights/Lugger, and Scania marine and industrial engines. The Scania industrial engines have been available in the US since about 2010, when Terex and Doosan started using them because of Tier 4 emissions standards.

I am a dealer for both Scania and Northern Lights at this time.

My wife Vickie is a traffic control supervisor for Scarcella Construction. My only real hobby is drag racing; I’ve been into hot rods since high school and been racing since about 1995. I currently own a Top Sportsman Car sponsored by Mike Sherlock’s Fremont Mischief Distillery. This is a tube chassis car made by Jim Cowan (American Racecraft) with a Sunset Performance 781 CI 1550 HP engine that I’ve driven a best of 6.68 seconds at 205.9 mph in the quarter mile.
