Summary
Ever since I was in High school I have had a passion for cars. From this passion I then studied to be a mechanic and worked with cars professionally for 3 year. Throughout this time I worked on my own cars modifying them both for show and function. I have reconditioned cars and have built my own street turbo engine for one of my current cars. I wanted to express my passion further by sharing my cars on social media and learning videography. I have made videos for both myself and others. I am always wanting to expand my knowledge and skills with cars and content creation.
