Summary

I've been a mechanic for a long time. I enjoy working with my hands and learning how things work. Building and fixing things is a passion of mine. I went to college simply to prove to the world I could stick with something long enough to see it through. I am a goal oriented and safety minded guy who is ready to stop pushing on wrenches for a living.

Diesel Mechanic

NW White And Company
Columbia, SC
06.2005 - 06.2006

I worked part time at night to help keep all of NW White's trucks and trailers serviced and maintained. I became familiar with the different types of trucks and trailers they use and how to preform preventative maintenance on each piece. NW White had many different kinds of trailers from small dump trailers to 53' trash trailers. It was a good introduction to being a professional diesel technician for a living. A lot can be learned crawling around on a piece of equipment with a grease gun in hand.
