I was raised to take pride in my work and have an old style way of thinking. Work hard, continue to work hard, that'll make you get anywhere you want to be. Being in my late 30's now, I couldn't agree with my parents more. I started working in high school, came to the dealership life soon after. Started as a lot boy cleaning cars. Then I started as a lube tech. From there I moved to the collision center and started spraying Rhino bedliners along with learning body work. I continued to learn body work and got to the point where I was the top flat rate tech in the garage making 80+ hours a week. I then became the Body Shop Manager for about five years. Upon not being able to find another good tech, we decided to put me back in the shop. I continued on until 2021 when I was asked to become the Managers of Service, Body Shop and Reconditioning. As of now, that is where I am.
