Hi I am Katie, meeting Sam was an achievement that I am very proud of. Our friend group goes mudding and I am the mechanic of the group. Some of my friends ordered some parts from Evo and she met me after work to pick them up. And I’ve been asking her if there any way possible I could step foot into this awesome world you guys have. I love going to work everyday and laughing. Life isn’t fun if there’s no laughter. I have a 7yr old daughter. Ada Mae. She is hell on wheels. She loves anything with wheels. I also have a tiny dog that I’m pretty attached to. He will be 4. Buster is Crickets bud. My family had a farm growing up so I’ve been my dad’s farm hand until I was 20. I know my way around a lot of machinery, animals and people. I switched to something safe to raise my baby and I started at home daycare. I absolutely loved that. And I detailed out of my garage when I didn’t have kids. I’ve worked at Service Master for almost 2 years. I love it there but my dream is to be where my kind of people are. Where the horsepower and toys are. Where racing is huge and fun and fast and crazy! I want that. I am border line ocd but the good kind. The kind that notices the small things. Anyway.. you will get to know me if I’m chosen. Thanks for reading. Much appreciated.
