He worked at one of Akrons leading auto body repair centers. While he worked late hours he would take his son Ken Dixon Jr to work. Ken Jr would sit in the the cars and do his home work. That is where Tallmadge Collision Center was born. Ken Jr naturally picked up the tools as a young man  and began helping his father. With the guidance of his Dad he to became a great auto body man.
