Summary
Worked at Thompson Machining, now TOC Tooling, during high school, work was on a tight schedule and there was not much room for mistakes. Worked with very tight tolerance parts, used micrometers and calipers everyday. Started at UNOH in August of 2023, graduated July 2025. Started at Crum Trucking in November of 2023, where I currently work. Adapted well to working on brakes, wheel ends, aftertreatment, and electrical systems there. Environment is not as fast paced, but I treat every fleet asset repair as an owner/operator truck repair, performing quality work as efficiently as possible.
