I began my automotive experience in high school doing basic maintenance. I have rebuilt motors and transmissions. Ever since, I decided that I wanted to build my passion into a career like heavy diesel. I started with applying my knowledge into HCC and worked with my mentors to be able to achieve my certifications.
