Started work as a floor cleaner and tool hander just trying to pick up knowledge where i could. Shortly after starting i handled inventory, tagging parts, talking with customers and writing up tickets and other odd jobs at the shop including 1 month of sizing and sorting bolts by length, thread pitch, metric vs standard ect. After my first year i started working on outboards and jetskis getting the basics taught to me of how engines works and the relationship between components and basic electrical diag.
