Summary
My expertise spans from vehicle repair to day to day business running , ensuring efficiency and customer satisfaction. I'm known for my ability to lead or be a team player ensuring jobs are repaired in a timely and thorough manner. It’s cliche to say but if it’s broken I can make it work again. I have years of experience in all types of mechanics from one off race cars and high dollar vintage cars to daily cars and diesel trucks. I am extremly well rounded and have experience behind a desk and in a shop as well I understand the difference and what’s needed in both positions to get the day to day things accomplished.
