Summary

Eager and experienced Journeyman Automotive Service tech. Grown up in the Automotive industry through family. Experience ranges from front end customer service to ordering parts, fixing vehicles or equipment. Attention to detail and satisfaction with work produced is something I am very particular about. Working in a busy shop for many years, I learned that time management is very important. Expanding knowledge into the heavy equipment realm has been enjoyable, gaining time and experience working on completely different systems while also applying knowledge from the automotive industry has better helped to do the best job possible

Engine Conversions, 2wd to 4wd conversions, Camping, fishing, mountain biking.

My personal life follows close with my passion for anything mechanical. I have done many 2wd to 4wd conversions. From Toyota's to Chevy Vans. Building, fabricating and welding parts to all come together into a finished product is something I take great joy in doing. Engine conversions is also something I enjoy, from gas to diesel conversions to swapping in higher displacement motors. Reworking Engine harnesses, stripping and de-pinning ecm harnesses and related systems.

       Getting outdoors is very much a part of my life, wether it is getting out into the woods camping, fishing or hopping on my mountain bike and pedaling to the top of the mountain. Being outdoors and enjoying where I live is a very important part of my life.
