Summary
I am a Lincoln Tech graduate and have been in the field wrenching since 2018. I first started working in the dealerships working on regular automotive vehicles while still attending school. After some years of gaining knowledge on how automotives operate, I then got a job in a shop working on diesel engines as well as servicing equipment such as generators/forklifts/hydraulic pistons/ and woodchippers for example. I am always eager to take on a job I have never done before as I love being taken out of my comfort zone. I can handle these types of situations well as I have a great set of skills and knowledge to be able to solve the task that is at hand.
