I have been an ASE-certified mechanic for over 40 years. I have had the opportunity to work on multiple car lines and manufacturers, including experimental and prototype vehicles for Ford Motor Company. I have also worked at Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) for 8.5 years as a senior GSE mechanic, 2nd-shift trainer, and backup lead. I worked on all types of GSE equipment, specializing in Trepel equipment and electric vehicles. During my time at DTW, I chose to return to college and complete my degree in Applied Engineering, which provided me the opportunity to teach automotive engineering and service technology. I loved teaching the next generation of mechanics and applied engineers. If there is one thing I miss the most about my life back in Michigan, it is teaching and sharing my knowledge of math, physics, and automotive service with my students.
