Summary

I have a positive and can do attitude. I’m pretty universal, I come from a small farming background, so I learned quick to make do with what we had and acquired a fix it now attitude from time crunches. I can weld it together when it breaks, (not the prettiest). I learned diesel repair in the field and in shop. Decided it wasn’t for me and tried my hand at repairing homes, cars, lawn care, landscaping and more on my own and for myself. Decided I liked what I used to do better, went into the mechanic industry and enjoy it. I took a job in a parts department and the manager quit soon after I started and was sufficient enough that they didn’t feel the need to hire anyone else into the parts department. Left there and moved back home to take care of personal matters and now that they are re-aligned I’m ready to start something new.
