It is my desire to return to the service and repair segment of the automotive industry. With over 30 years of experience, I feel that I have a substantial amount of abilities to offer a future employer. I have been employed previously in various areas of the industry as an A.S.E. Master Technician, Service Manager, Service Writer, Shop Foreman, Parts Sales, Trackside Support Technician, and Automotive Service Technology Master Instructor and Program Director. I have the experience of repairing a wide range of vehicles ranging from domestic and foreign passenger vehicles to fleet trucks and race cars. I possess the ability to work well independently, make intelligent logical decisions, and have exceptional time management skills. My employers have always had the benefits of my complete dedication to my job and my total loyalty to their company.
