Summary
I have been working on my own cars and dirt bikes since I could turn a wrench. I have always been curious about how things work and how they are built. My passion has lead me to NASCAR Technical Institute in Mooresville, NC, where I have expanded my understanding for engines and other automotive components. I currently have a 4.0 GPA and I would like to start putting my new skills to use.
