Summary
Well-rounded fleet manager and lead mechanic with a solid background in the automotive repair world. I took 3 years of college for automotive technology and gained the knowledge and certifications I needed to start my career. After starting as a lube tech, I worked my way up to become a lead mechanic and a sought after asset in my company. I then moved over into fleet management alongside being the lead mechanic. Here I learned the necessary skills needed to lead and train other employees, as well as guide them in more in-depth repairs. I now manage a fleet of over 200 vehicles and pieces of equipment.
