Summary

  • An experienced LV mechanic , I did my time throughout a few dealerships on the central coast and then here in Newcastle , I worked my way through Holden and Mitsubishi training to then gain the role of workshop supervisor of Kelly Trotter Motor Group. I then moved with my partner closer to the hunter mine sites. The constant sleepless nights and never being satisfied with any success has propelled me into comfortable position. Working 72 hours a week at my day job to then run a business outside of that is not an uncommon thing for me and has become a very normal everyday thing , with the goal of building a successful empire becoming a true reality with everyday completed.
