Thomas Caldwell
Troutdale,Oregon
Summary
I grew up on a farm in Corbett, Oregon where I learned how to operate and repair equipment along with doing physical labor growing up. My family has been in the automotive industry for an exceptionally long time which in the end I grew up learning basic maintenance all the way to engine overhauls and restoration projects. When we were not working on the farm, we were either at the local track watching the races or at the dunes along the Oregon coast riding ATVs/Sand rails.
