Working on Cars Planting gardens
In the Air Force from May 1984 to May 1994 I was a Jet Engine Mechanic which got me interested in mechanics and the way engines work and it just took off from there. That is also how I became interested in welding. I became interested in planted gardens by helping my Mother plant her garden
