Hi Jason,
I'm actually not a mechanic, I just play one on weekends... Cars are a lifelong passion, I've been through the muscle car phase, the Italian car phase, the BMW phase, and for the last 6 or so years it's been Land Rovers. I pay the bills doing supply chain work. Right now I'm not working, so my ultimate destination is uncertain, but Oregon is "home" when I'm not somewhere else. I have a house there, but my ex lives in it, so I'll be staying with a buddy in White Salmon WA, right across from Hood River.
