I have worked in the Auto body industry for just over 7 years. For 6 of those years I was a technician and switched to an Estimator. I’ve been an automotive enthusiast since I was a kid, and wanted to follow my dad’s footsteps and fix cars! I love this industry, and all the great people and connections I’ve made.I started in the automotive industry when I was 21. Years prior, I worked as a shift lead/manager at the restaurant Modern Market. I moved to Colorado when I was 19 and learned so much in the restaurant world for several years and then moved into the car world. Growing up in Santa Fe, NM I had a few odd jobs in high-school, like re painting boards and stands for the renowned “Indian Market”, as well as setting up the booths for said market. I also worked in my aunts shop (now my moms) “El Nicho” downtown Santa Fe. But I’ve loved cars since I was in diapers. Fixing cars, whether it be back in the shop, or running them as an estimator, is a huge challenge, but every finished car is beyond rewarding. I have fixed everything from a $68,000 Tesla repair to a $700 bumper repair. Every car is different. We’re literally the doctors of the collision world! I also love working on my own cars with my friends on the weekends. Cars and cats are things I love!
