Hobbies
When I am not working, I enjoy building cars. I particularly enjoy restoring projects and integrating newer technology into older vehicles, which is where I believe my passion for diagnostics and problem solving stems from. Throughout struggles in younger years, my hobby has taught me the value of seeing through current issues and the patience to resolve them with one independent variable at a time.
