Hobby. passion. career.
From a young age, I was captivated by the inner workings of machinery. What began with disassembling small items like garden water pumps, eventually escalated to taking apart my dad’s lawn mower. This hands-on curiosity soon turned into a full-fledged hobby and, ultimately, a passion.
As I grew older, my interests evolved into customizing my own off-road vehicle. I spent countless hours swapping motors, transmissions, axles, and more, constantly pushing the boundaries of my mechanical knowledge. To formalize my skills, I pursued technical education and sought mentorships with construction companies and a rock quarry in the Northwest. Surrounding myself with knowledgeable individuals with many different specialties has been crucial in my journey, as I continually strive to expand my expertise, while also being a well rounded mechanic.
Through my industry experience, I realized the immense value of rapid, on-site equipment repair. Downtime for machines translates directly to cost for companies, emphasizing the need for timely service. This insight led to the inception of Grumpy’s Field Service.
