Summary

I have had a lot of automotive experience throughout my life. Between different shops, schools and private work I've added a multitude of mechanical skillsets. I did leave the field for a long time to pursue entrepreneurship and sales positions where I gained more skills in developing and implementing sales strategies, building relationships, and leading high-performing teams. I also possesses excellent people skills, a goal-oriented mindset, and the ability to solve problems and resolve conflicts.

Not to mention I can assist with social media and marketing and sales management as well.
