Candidate #1238 Manager/Technician in Goodhue, Minnesota
Passively Looking for Technician jobs within 60 miles of Goodhue, Minnesota.
Critical thinking and networking; that is what I bring to the table. I live for the challenge(s) of tracking down causes of driveability and electrical/electronic concerns. I'm also a part of a group of top tier technicians who also share those same or similar passions. I'm not much of an R&R tech, and arguably not one at all. I just don't do much of it (I haven't pulled a transmission, cylinder head or engine since college). Every shop I've ever worked for I've had enough work to remain focused on diagnostics. Now with more programming I stay busier yet.
