Summary
I've worked on cars throughout high school as a "backyard mechanic" helping my grandpa tear out engines, transmissions, replacing suspension parts, brakes, ect. I am going to NMC trade school to become a certified mechanic with a strong desire to continue to learn and grow within the automotive industry. I use problem solving skills and knowledge of how something works to be able to diagnose and fix a problem.
