Work Experience & Education
Technician
2013–Present
Two years in a Nissan dealership in a hybrid position of Quick Lube/Mechanic's Apprentice. I was hired as a helper for a lube tech who moved to the line shortly after. I assisted or solo'ed a wide variety of tasks for higher techs.
Salesman
2011–2013
Sold passenger vehicle parts to shops and the public.
Was apparently "the only guy we've seen" in 20 years to drive a vehicle into Engines II, remove, strip, overhaul, rebuild and reinstall the engine, and successfully drive it away in one semester. It's still one of our daily drivers today (a 1.9L turbo Volvo v40).
