Mechanical Aptitude and Hands on Experience
I also have a tech school degree in automotive collision repair. I have always been a gear head and love hotrods, ratrods, and mainly hotrod trucks and ratrod trucks, but love just about anything on wheels. I have worked with my hands for my whole life. Knowing how things work is one thing, but actually putting the pieces together with your own two hands is something else entirely. This has lended greatly to design foresight and manufacturing production.
