A Collision Repair Pathway - What Are You Passionate About

What Are You Passionate About?

Enjoy Life I recommend that you find what your passionate about and do it. Let's face it, no one wants to spend the rest of their life hating their job. Life is too short... make each day count. While you're thinking about your passions, I'll tell you about mine and one other story.

Donnie's Story I started working on cars as a hobby when I was a kid. My father, brother and I enjoyed tinkering around with cars. In high school, I enrolled in an auto mechanics class. This class allowed us to perform the mechanical aspect as well as body work and painting. There, I painted my first car. It was a 1974 Camaro. It took me the entire year to repair all the small dents and get it painted. However, the paint job turned out awesome.

Passion I was impressed with the satisfaction of being able to stand back and see the end result. This was when I discovered that I was passionate about the auto collision pathway. From there I attended a school for collision and refinish and entered the field of collision repair. In 2004 I decided to take the skills that I've learned and teach it to others. I remain passionate about collision repair and teaching.

The Different Roads - Same Passion This pathwaytraining took me down several different roads. It started as a hobby, which lead to a career. Then the career took several different roads (technician, estimator, manager, owner, teacher). However, my passion for working on cars continues to be a passion for me.

Make It Count As I mentioned earlier, make each day count. We all have a numbered days on earth so follow what you are passions. Whether your passion is Collision Repair or not, do what you enjoy doing.
