CLASS
NOTES ED PETERSEN ’85 started Wrench. Specializing as a full-service auto shop without the actual shop, Wrench offers everything from brake jobs and tune ups to oil changes. As Petersen will tell you, “The building block of any startup is inquiry-based learning. At SCDS you learn how this process works at a young age and, most importantly, you learn to enjoy it.” More information can be found at: www.getwrench.com
