San Antonio,TX
Summary
Just a guy trying to learn all he can. Professionally more so an automotive technician but wanting to get into a field that’s more consistent when it comes to money flow. No stranger to long hours as currently, I work 11 hours a day, 6 days a week at a shop and the one day I’m off, I’m at my personal shop working on other people's cars. Can learn anything I put my mind to
