Summary

I grew up operating heavy equipment with my father. I helped maintain and repair his equipment. In high school I attended a tech school pursuing an automotive technician class where I acquired my class A state inspection license. I am well at problem solving. When something breaks I am always able to figure out how to fix it efficiently. I am also highly educated with costumer service as I had to work with clients in past jobs. I am very willing to be educated and learn new things.
