Summary

Having started my automotive experience at a young age and working for a couple oil change facilities. While learning the value of helping others I relised I wanted to further my career.I had an opportunity to go work for a bigger automotive corporation and in that opportunity I was blessed to work for a gentleman that took me under his wing and gave me a stent of 15 years of lessons and trials we brought a slow passed shop to new heights. He unfortunately retired. So that left me thinking what else can I do to help further my career.
