I was born in Sioux Falls and have lived here all my life. Graduated from Lincoln High School then earned an associates in Mechatronics at Southeast Technical College. Mechatronics gave me a strong understanding of motors, pumps, electrical systems, and trouble shooting. Started working on cars years back with my first oil change, then from there I took on bigger jobs and before I knew it I was doing all the work for my friends and family because I fell in love with it. I put customer satisfaction first because it really does mean something when I can brighten your day and save you money. I am hoping to earn your trust and become your go to mechanic for years to come!
