We are extremely pleased to have Tom McGee, director of ATI Collision, join the ATI team to lead the development and introduction of the ATI Collision program.”

His experience includes collision industry relations manager for ALLDATA and nearly 18 years at I-CAR where he held a variety of positions, including president/CEO and technical director. McGee is a graduate of Ferris State College in Big Rapids, Mich., and an ASE-certified master auto body and paint technician and collision repair estimator. McGee, a recognized industry speaker, was also elected into the Collision Industry Hall of Eagles in 2001.
