Summary
I am a hard working and reliable person willing to do whatever needed. I have a fair amount of experience in the automotive industry but do not know everything. What I don't know I am willing to learn and pick up on things quickly. I currently do not have any ASE certifications but will do so if needed. I have my own basic tools and toolbox and can continue to add to what i have.
