Favorite things to do outside of work: I enjoy offroad desert racing.

What are you most proud of? Taking over the business from my father and continue to grow it into a business that can be here to help and take care of our customers and communities auto repair needs.

If you didnt have this job, what career would you choose and why? What was your first dream car? Lamborgini Countach, had the poster on my wall as a kid. About me, grew up at the shop, dad started it 7yrs before I was born, grew up on 20acres with chickens, rabbits, ducks, geese, pigeons, cows and sheep. Showed animals in 4-h.

Got into dirt bike racing in my early teens and raced into my early 20’s, wanted to race professionally, but adulting and injurys forced me to stop. Started farming for hire in my off time to make extra money. I then I got a jeep and got into rock crawling and then had the opportunity to off-road desert race in a side by side utv for 5yrs on a team and go to mexico and race the Baja 1000 and 500 as well as the Vegas to Reno and Mint 400. Had to quit when dad retired and I offically took over the business. Getting to race led me purchasing my own sxs and after about 5yrs I started doing some local desert races; King of the Kastle and they are about 200mi.

Growing up on the farm and farming on the side in my 20’s lead me to buying property in Redmond that I produce hay on and my wife has 3 horses and barrel races.

What is your favorite thing to do outside of work? I’m passionate about classic sci-fi movies, especially those from the ’70s and ’80s, which I find both nostalgic and inspiring. I also love the challenge of building custom computers, from choosing the right components to assembling and optimizing them for performance. In my downtime, I enjoy taking road trips along the coast, where I can unwind, explore new places, and just enjoy the view of the ocean.

What are you most proud of? I’m most proud of consistently delivering high-quality repairs and maintenance across a wide range of vehicles, ensuring customer satisfaction and long-term reliability. Whether it’s routine service or complex diagnostics, I take pride in my ability to quickly adapt to new technologies and keep up with the evolving needs of the automotive industry.

What was your first dream car?A 2009 5.2-Liter Audi R8 Quattro

If you didn’t work in the automotive industry, what would you want to do and why? If I weren’t working in the automotive industry, I would likely pursue a hands-on, technology-focused career, such as in electronics or computer hardware. I have always been fascinated by how things work and enjoy troubleshooting and solving problems, whether they involve engines or technology. Building and optimizing systems, whether mechanical or digital, gives me a sense of satisfaction. The fast-paced and constantly evolving nature of these fields keeps me engaged and eager to learn. Additionally, I would miss the fulfillment of creating or fixing something tangible that people can rely on if I weren’t in the automotive world.

How many years have you been in the industry? I’ve been in the automotive industry for over 7 years, starting out as an apprentice and working my way up to a skilled technician. Throughout my career, I’ve developed a strong expertise in diagnostics, engine repair, and advanced electrical systems.
