INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
Never be afraid to get your hands dirty.
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
The biggest challenge I’ve had is getting over fear. Cutting and welding things can be scary because things can hit you, but I’ve learned to wear things to protect me from flying parts.
FIRST SPECIAL VEHICLE
My Mustang Fastback is special to me because my Dad has one, and I like the way the body looks. It looks strong.
BEST AUTOMOTIVE ADVICE
Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
My dad, my grandpa, and Facebook groups have really helped me.
RECOMMENDED BOOK
I read a lot on car websites and in Facebook groups.
PARTING WORDS OF ADVICE
