Summary
I attended Suncoast Technical College and completed my 3 years and graduated with my diploma in Automotive. I worked at Sarasota Ford as an entry lube technician while still in school and moved over to Audi Sarasota once I graduated. Since I've been at Audi I have reached expert level and completed all training necessary to reach the next level of master which I have 1/3 completed. I perform work from simple oil changes or tire rotations to heavier line jobs such as six-cylinder piston replacement jobs and drive motors on electric drive vehicles.
