About Myself
- After graduating high school, I joined the Army reserves. I went active duty on July 13, 2008, and was stationed at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. I then reclassed from an 88M to a 91B. I spent 8 yrs in the Army of which I spent 6 as a Heavy Equipment and Vehicle Mechanic. My Unit deployed 1 time while I was active duty for a tour of 12 months.
- If you give me the opportunity to show you all of my skills and allow me to grow in your company. I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed. I consider myself mechanically proficient and electrically familiar. My comfort zone is Mechanical but working at Honda has made me step out of that comfort zone and get more familiar with the electrical side of the industry. Honda believes in the technicians wearing many hats which has allowed me to grow my mechanical and electrical skills.
