(not really me....)
   

   Hi, my name is Scott "Oz" Osborn.  I own and operate Osborn's Automotive on Pacific coast Highway and Avenue "B" in South Redondo Beach.  I've been serving the South Bay since the mid 80's, and have built the business on repeat customers and referrals.  I have the best customers in the area!

   I live in Rancho Palos Verdes with my wife, Nancy.  You've probably seen her at any number of school functions volunteering her time and expertise with the kids.  We have two daughters, Lindsay(24) & Melissa(21).  Both have played in AYSO Soccer. Melissa went on to play Girls Softball, Club Soccer with "Quest" and then on to volleyball at Peninsula High & CSUSM where she's working on her teaching credential.  Lindsay developed her Equestrian skills and rode for the Peninsula High team.  She's now studying Occupational Therapy at USC and plans on going all the way to a Doctorate.

   This website got it's roots back in 1995 when I started listing the scores of my daughters soccer teams on my website at work (www.osbornauto.com).  I decided that local sports needed a place to post information and, therefore, I created a new website, www.pvsports.com.  In the first year, the site averaged 10,000 hits per month.   I sold banner ads to help offset the costs of running the site, but found that pursuit took away from the time I needed to spend updating the site.  I discontinued the ads after about 6 months.  I have had some help each year from parents who wanted to lend a hand. Usually a father helped by emailing a Microsoft Word document, or an Excel spreadsheet that I could easily transform into a web page.  I have even taught some parents to make changes to the web pages direct from their desks.  I sincerely thank all of you for making my job easier!

   As it turns out, I have designed quite a few websites, ranging from small team webs, to soccer clubs, churches and  large associations.  I have also designed websites for organizations who do business management training and seminars all over the world as well as local shopping centers.  Many of the websites use "Active Server Pages," which allow the use of databases & live changes to the data and web pages through the use of forms.

   Well, that's my story and here's the sales pitch:  If you're looking for a good honest AAA certified garage to get your car back in shape, please let me know!
