Accomplishments

I started a successful side business that stemmed from a love of fixing things instead of replacing them. I currently have one recurring Business client and received multiple retail customers from references and word of mouth. I repair retro Video Game consoles, cartridges and motherboards that are deemed unrepairable by most people.


I also made it a goal a decade ago that I would become a Red Seal Welder. I achieved that goal in 2017 but decided the health risks and injuries were too great and made a decision with my partner to go back to school to get into the industry I enjoy the most, IT.
