I offer a wide range of services which range from Auto Repairs mainly Brakes, and mobile refrigeration services, to working out of state security due to my special ops experience in 1st Marine Division for dispensaries in Colorado for financial purposes due to the federal banking system not insuring said profits . Currently i am finishing up a couple installation projects one in Crete Nebraska and the Other in Omaha at large Cattle processing plants . I am helping a large Millright company out of Oklahoma and Kansas install centerline restrainers for Humane Handling of the cattle prior to slaughter . These are very specific and precise installations with a no tolerance for mistakes in the welds and finishing of the completely stainless steel units . Any small bump, ridge unfinished seem can cripple a plant due to the size of the structure which will leave a cut, bruise or worse to the cattle prior to the slaughter . Many times the U.S.D.A. will shut entire plants down for extended amounts of time until the issue is resolved and a full investigation has been conducted along with the large fines for Inhumane Handling . I also install small business and home security systems of my own design, along with residential plumbing and H.V.A.C. repair and replacement .

Although I never aquired my A.S.E. Cert. I am very well versed in the automotive feild . 0 years ago I had to change the type of maintenance I was involved with for finacial reasons to complete schooling and purchase all nessary tools to start off as a bottom of the food chain mechanic was not very smart at that time so i transitioned into industrial maintenance and have got training in many many other areas that a shop mechanic would never even image . It was a money issue then now not so much . so id love to at least sit and discuss how we mutually benefit if i was brought aboard . When Jiffy luby was orginall privatley owned and operated I managed that store off of State . Then I was recruited to help open another in St. Paul and finished up my fast lube time Managing and Running the Detail and lune shop along with rebuilding the Carwash for Mr. Gs on Locust, I had Rotary Lifts installed in 2 bays and did rotations along with Brakes and Professional A/C service not just quick retrofits that usually never lasted, along with fuel injection service, trans pan and flush, Radiator service, I had the run of all the dealers and private accounts in the majority on Grand Island even the Harley shop for color sanding and buffing out all trade in bikes . I have pretty much all the needed equipment and tools to perform most of the repairs you face in the shop on a day to day basis I have to brush up a bit on some models but im motivated and very well informed when i tackle any new project on a vehicle . After my 1st marriage i relocated to lincoln for 2 years where I assissted the Vuko Family Manage and run both Walker tire locations so please contact me even if its just to pick my brain I have many many contacts in this area and both sides of my family have highly successful careers and company's here in G.I.
