Mechanic's is in my blood, I've been turning wrenches and been pounding tires since the age of seven years ago. I'm a hard working single father of two young daughters just trying to make a better world.

I've work in almost every corner of the industry from Water Craft, motorsport and gardening tools too advanced hydraulics and custom wiring harnesses for the oil fields on their heavy haulers and rig platforms. When I'm not turning wrenches I'm pounding tires there's nothing more relaxing then pealing a bead.
