    Born in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, my family moved to the Richmond area when I was two.  I attended Richmond Community Schools where I received my diploma.  At fifteen years old I started working at Richmond Collision where I first started working on vehicles.  In high school I attended two years of Auto Body at Lanse Creuse Tech.  After graduation, I received a job at Merrolis Chevrolet in Eastpointe.  I worked there for three years.  I became GM Certified and I-Car Certified.  After that I worked for Huntington Ford in Rochester.  I became Blue Oval Certified and continued my I-Car Certifications.  After a few years I began working at Jefferson Chevrolet in Detroit.  I specialized in theft recoveries and collision related mechanical repair until I received a call from Dick Huvaere's Richmond Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.  I have been here for eight years and enjoy everyday.  I have continued in I-Car Certifications, received multiple Chrysler Certifications, and I am Certified as a welder.  I am also the full time prep mechanic where I personally drive and inspect almost all of our New Vehicles to insure they are up to delivery standards.  I also keep the other employees on their feet by trying to make this place fun.
    In my time away from work I enjoy hunting, fishing, and about anything in the outdoors. I do taxidermy and  enjoy taking kids from my church and getting them away from their tv's and video games, into the woods, behind a fishing pole, and in the church pew.  I am married to my best friend Kelly, and we just had our first son Jonathan.
