Summary

Since gradating college I have worked on large vehicles (Monster trucks), small engines (bikes, dirtbikes, ATV's), and regular every day automobiles. I have started building my own cliental by referrals only to the point that my weekend work is scheduling out 2 months in advance. I can Diagnose, research parts, put together a price list/bill, communicate to customers in a professional but understanding manner, and repair/rebuild automotive's of any size. As much as I have learned, I still know there is more this world can teach me.
