Summary
I have been a small engine/automotive mechanic for a long time, my father started teaching me at a young age. Since then I have graduated high school a year early and left there being a certified welder. I then proceeded to move to Arizona for professional mechanical training. I left there being a dealership trained gold certified technician in Honda as well as Suzuki. I ended up coming back to San Saba and I got a job over in goldthwaite at Hoffpauir outdoor superstore as a technician and I worked my way up to be the second head technician, I also worked in the parts department and provided excellent customer service. I also got Polaris certified while I was there.
