EXPERIENCE:

Rocky Roads- 04-2013 to 05-2015

Service Manager

Rocky Roads is a classic Bronco restoration shop. We restored 1966-1977 Ford Bronco’s. When I started there, there was lots of Mickey Mouse work that was performed. I put out all of the fires and did quality repairs to what was done. Not only was I doing repairs in the shop, I was also making sure the other guys were doing repairs properly and with good quality. The business died down so the owner cut my hours at first then told me he couldn’t afford to pay any of us anymore and was going to let everyone go and sub all of his work out.
