My name is Seth Gooden. I am 29 years old, born and raised in Southern IL. I relocated to Virginia in 2023. I am married to my beautiful wife Brandy and have 3 daughters, Payton, Mckenzie and Braelyn. I grew up working on cars in the garage with my dad who was an advanced ASE tech with over 30 years experience. I built numerous dirt track race cars and have raced since I was 12 years old. I currently race a dirt modified. I have general knowledge in about everything, jack of all trades, but i specialize in welding and automotive repair. I was a certified welder when I worked at Midwestern but it has since expired. I do not have any ASE certificates or schooling,other then highschool, but all i do is work on vehicles even in my free time. I know how to use and operate a fork lift and have taken forklift classes. I am hard working and always looking to better not only myself but my family. My wife and kids are my whole world and my motivation to work harder and do better.
