Bret Bouslaugh - Instructor

WHO AM I? 

I'm an explorer, dreamer, developer, thinker and so much more. 

Everything I've accomplished and done in my life has been guided by my curiosity, creativity, and diligence.

I will use this shop space and my personal experience in the industry to teach and guide the up-and-coming generation of technicians. I've learned so much good over my years as an automotive professional but also a little bad so, it's my hope to launch my students into the automotive industry while knowing what mistakes not to make early in your career and how to build a successful one. This all starts with the want to learn and practice good work ethics. I'm constantly changing and evolving my class to best suit my students.
