Summary

I am a competent technician with over 7 years of experience working on a large variety of equipment and vehicles. I am highly intelligent and able to use this foundation to figure out how to repair things I'm not yet familiar with. I am able to work well independently, but also love to teach and share my knowledge with others. I have an extensive set of tools and understand the value of continued investment in new equipment. I have run multiple businesses and understand the importance of producing a quality product to ensure the growth of the company. I have spent the last 3 1/2 years in the construction field, but itching to get back to being a full-time mechanic. I'm passionate about fixing machines and excited to delve into the world of heavy-duty diesel equipment.
