"I'm a 29 year old New Jersey native and an ASE, L1 certified technician. My automotive career started out as a hobby when I was 16 years old. The first education I took to learn about cars was when I picked up a Hanes Manual to fix my first car, a 1978 Buick Skylark that my grandmother gave me – I haven't stopped learning since. I graduated from Lincoln Tech in 2002 and have a passion for anything mechanical. I started my career at a large dealership on the night shift while at LTI. I have primarily dealership experience, most recently for Nissan. I am a big fan of all things Jeep and off-roading, and have recently invested in a boat. I am learning the ways of the water – a very fun summer pastime! When I'm not in the shop, I enjoy building and wheeling my jeep, taking my boat out on the lake and just being outdoors. Leaning the outdoors with the Boy Scouts as a youth still plays a huge part of my life and I try my best everyday to continue the positive convictions instilled in me by the BSA. I am newly married and love spending time with my wife, camping, wheeling and boating with her, family, and good friends!

"It's great to be the new addition to Automotive Magic - I am excited to hit the ground running! I have found more passion, motivation, and enthusiasm at this shop than I have at any of the other shops that I have worked at, and am very happy to be a part of the Automotive Magic family!"
