Born and raised in ND. Joined the Navy at 18 as a helicopter mechanic. Earned my Civil engineering degree from Texas A&M Kingsville in 2007 and commissioned as a Naval Civil Engineer Corp Officer 4 months later. I was in charge of multi million dollar contracts, running production shops responsible for the maintenance of military bases along with leading sailors. Retired from the Navy in 2019 and followed a passion for cars. Started working as a Ford Technician and earned my Senior Master level Certification in 5 years. Now I am combining my passion for cars and mentoring through teaching automotive mechanics at St. Philips.
