Nathan Rogers
I have been traveling around numerous states from north to south and everything in between quite a bit since I was a young child. I also lived in Arequipa, Peru, South America and have become bilingual.
I am very willing to learn and gain knowledge, enjoy customer interactions, and challenges. I also always strive to make myself more professional during not only work, but also at home. I am very eager to start work, dig into challenging projects and terminate them to the best of my abilities. I have also been told by several others that I am a hard worker and a quick learner. I also help my buddies fix issues with their vehicles from 98 Ford rangers to 2016 King Ranch F150s, 2007-2016 Chevy Duramax trucks to 88-2013 Toyotas.

Awards I have received are: Honor Roll in high school, wisdom of being a handyman, strength from packing animals, and the mental strength of knowing that I can do anything my mind is put to!
