Hello,

Have an interest in automotive? Want to learn basic automotive 101 classes? Welcome to my class.

I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Management in 2007. After graduating, I found a passion for cars and started from the basics. I've been in the automotive industry for over 14 years. I was a Store Manager at a major automotive repair center and I also taught automotive classes at my local community college. 

I first started working and training with Lexus and Toyota. As I've gained knowledge and experience, I moved my way up the ladder and now I'm excited to teach this course to help others in understanding automotive basics.

My goal is to introduce a class that is easy to understand and become a resource for students in the future. At the end of each class, students should have an understanding of the current topic. The goal is to understand the functions of a car and provide self-help when running into issues or avoiding costly mistakes.
