Summary
I have been a professional auto mechanic for over 30 years, 15 of which were spent as sole-proprietor of my own shop, which specialized in custom car and truck building. I have full knowledge in all areas of this trade, including frame-off restoration, metal fabrication and welding, machine shop operation, body and paint, engine building, electrical, general diagnostics and repair. I am currently the fleet-shop manager for AAA Washington, where I manage a fleet of over 40 cars, light and medium duty trucks. I am responsible for inventory of all parts, tools, and systems that keep the fleet running smoothly. I also oversee the drivers, ensuring safe operating procedures as well as ensuring outstanding customer satisfaction.
