Accomplishments
My whole life I have been invested in cars and the engines that make them tick. I started out at a young age, about 10, hanging out with my dad in the garage rebuilding jeeps and motorcycles and at 19 or so I started my professional career at The Mechanics. In those long years I learned something new every single day. My mechanical knowledge when I joined in 2022 helped an incredible amount as when we had another new hire come fresh out of school at NASCAR Tech he seemed to be missing a vast majority of basic knowledge. I have always taken pride in my work and anything I touch from a simple air filter change to gapping piston rings. Everything needs to be correct and within tolerance or the job will have to be done twice. In the 4 years I worked for The Mechanics I moved from lube tech to shop foreman due to my knowledge and abilities.
