Steve Young, Autolock Solutions
From Tech-Train tools and "how-to" opening videos in the 1990s, to the growth and direction of Locksmaster's automotive division, to the Ledger articles spread over all these years, to his passion of helping locksmiths grown in their field, Gale Johnson would be proud to have Steve Young receive this award with his blessings.
Steve was the owner and CEO of Tech Train car-opening tools and training videos, then later sold his business to Lockmasters. In recent years, he has owned and operated Autolock Solutions, an automotive locksmithing company based in Pensacola, Florida. He is the author of automotive data books used by automotive locksmiths to perform most any automotive repair or lock replacement and a frequent Locksmith Ledger contributor.
In his nomination, fellow locksmith Donald Milton describes him as a “stand-alone fountain of history, innovative changes, and current state of the art in automotive locksmithing and a good friend to locksmiths around the world.”
