Hello all.
I’m Brandon. Worked on my own vehicle in high school and was always fascinated by automobiles as a child. I decided to make the automotive industry my career choice. Once I graduated high school I went to Sinclair C.C. in Dayton, OH for Automotive Technology. There I studied all makes and models (with the economic uncertainty of the industry at that time, I didn’t want to tie myself down to one brand).
I got my first automotive job while in college at a Sears. It sucked and I quickly and luckily got hired on at a local Dayton area Ford dealer. I graduated college on the deans list and was given a Certification in Automotive Technology, an Associates Degree in Automotive Technology, and a Ford MLR Certification. I continued to work at Ford for two years before moving back home to Cincinnati, OH and working for the City of Cincinnati’s fleet garage. I did that for two years until I got a better opportunity with the City of Blue Ash, OH working on their fleet.
Fleet work is amazing, one day your on a fire truck, the next a chainsaw, then a tandem axle dump truck, only to be followed by an Escape Hybrid. Not to mention the benefits vs. a dealership are night and day. I’m always attending courses and seminars on the industry and want to get my ASE Masters (Ford didn’t care about ASE, never got them).
