My name is John. I have been in the automotive repair industry for my entire life. My Great Grandfather, Great Uncle, Grandfather, and Father were all mechanics. I graduated from Lincoln Tech in 1980 in their automotive and diesel truck technology program. I worked in my father’s garage and then started my own auto repair business until 1989 when I started teaching automotive technology. I then returned to Lincoln Tech in 2002 and obtained my associates degree in Automotive service management and was named an honor graduate. In 2014 I was nominated for the Lincoln Tech hall of fame. I taught for 20 years until my legs gave out and I had to go on early retirement/disability. I was hopeful that I could return to teaching, however over the years I have had 8 leg surgeries. So it is not looking too good for me to return to teaching (at least in Automotive Technology). Being on disability I am able to work as long as it does not have anything to do with me working on vehicles directly or teaching in any capacity. I would like to be doing something, but I am at a loss as to what to do. If anyone here would have any suggestions I would be EXTREMELY grateful. Thanks and I look forward to conversing with fellow techs on this forum.
