I graduated from Hamburg High School in 1989, worked in my dad's diesel shop all through school. I joined the Air Force immediately after high school. Served 9 1/2 years on active duty. After separating from the Air Force, I began years of field work for several construction equipment companies around the Las Vegas and Birmingham AL areas. 

I returned home to Hamburg in 2010, where I started working for local shops as a mechanic. As well as a stint as a terminal manager for a trucking company out of Louisiana.

I have been the lead bus mechanic for the Hamburg School District since July 2019.

Outside work, I love to spend my time with family.
