Lead Instructor Rodrigo Rivera (@Rigoratio)
With over 15 years of experience in the automotive industry, I've been immersed in the shop environment since the age of five. My passion for mechanics ignited when I put together my first transmission at thirteen, and it has only grown from there. I thrive on transforming completely destroyed units into efficient, working machines, relishing the challenges that come my way.
I hold a Master's degree in Instructional Design and a Bachelor's degree in Communication, complementing my hands-on expertise with academic knowledge. As an ASE Certified professional, I've successfully built over 2,500 units, continually striving to enhance my skills and contribute to the field. Stay Greasy!
