What advice would you give to someone applying for a job in your department?
The advice I would give someone that is or wanting to apply for a job in this department would be that it takes a while to grasp the techniques and systems of the vehicle to fully understand a customer’s complaint and not to be in a hurry and rush yourself.  Take your time when first starting to work on the vehicles and understand what you are doing and why you are doing it.
  
What makes Checkered Flag a great place to work?
The people that I work with in my department make it a great place to work.  If I don’t have a tool or don’t know how to do something, there is always someone that has the tool or you can ask to get help from.
 
What did you want to be when growing up?
Like most I had no idea.  I know that I did want to serve my country and did for 25 years.
