Michael Ma

High Point,NC

Summary

My name is Michael Ma and I'm 19 years of age. My parents died when I was 17 and I've been striving to be the best person I can be for me and my 14-year-old sister. I've since tried out University at Appalachian State, and Have worked two previous jobs before. The first being at a body shop called East Coast Autowerks. I learned much there in my summer internship before going off to college. My second job was only for a few months as it just wasn't working with my schedule. I learned how to engage with people and even how to coerce sales. I'm currently at GTCC to get my general automotive certification. My passion since my teenage years has been cars. The car community was my escape/therapy when my parents passed. I'm young but I would love the opportunity to start my career here at Tri-Lift.

Working on me and my own friends and families cars

Ever since two years ago when I decided to switch off of becoming a Dentist I pursued cars. I started learning by working on my own car until I was confident enough to work on my families. Since then I have been servicing and modifying me, my friends, and my families cars.
