Created by Mike Wiant for Today's Young Professionals.
The automotive industry has blessed me for many years. It has so much opportunity for our youth. The more I discovered this, the greater I felt an obligation to educate, excite, and encourage them about all the opportunities it has! It just fits my personality. Now, it's a deep passion of mine!
I think it's a shame that we (as a society) have looked down on all these "trade" type jobs. This industry is changing at a BLISTERING pace, these vehicles now are computers on wheels and having the skill to work on them takes a lot more brain power than I have!
So let's start praising these kids and give them the credit they deserve!! They're "Automotive SURGEONS" in my mind!
Need some encouragement, need some guidance? Call, email, or message me, I'm here to help!
Mike is happily married with three awesome children! They live in Bath Township, Ohio (a suburb of Akron).
