Summary

My mechanical career started when I was 11 years old helping my grandfather fix and build drag cars. When I was 16 years old I built my first drag car start to finish. (Candy green Chevy 2, 421 small block, 10.1 quarter mile 112mph) I started school at Tcat Bartlett in early 2024. My instructor Dillon moore quickly recognized my abilities and put them to use as leading the class on projects in the shop. He then sent me out for co op shortly after at Vermeer midsouth where I have been since learning and obtaining hands on experience with heavy equipment.
