A professional Automotive Service Technician with the desire, knowledge and skills required to diagnose and repair malfunctions in complete mechanical and electrical systems. I was a soldier for 20 years in the US ARMY as an All-Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic. I also took the initiative to take charge of our Hazmat department. I was integral in being a Team Leader and teaching other soldiers about how to diagnose and repair any wheeled vehicle. Not only did I maintain vehicles, I also mentored the soldiers by leading by example.
