History
Although I had already worked at 2 Collision shops previously since 2007...by mid 2010 I enrolled in Atlanta Technical College and Atlanta Tech is where I furthered my knowledge in the Automotive Collision Repair Field. Upon finishing the course, I received the Certifications needed to carry the title of a professional collision specialist, and not just a guy that can do bodywork and paint. I earned my title to be called a professional Collision Repair Technician.
