About
I’ve spent forty-two years around engines, machines, and people who needed something fixed. I’ve worked as a machinist, trained in mechanical engineering, hold an FAA Powerplant license, and I’ve been a car mechanic for as long as I can remember.
Somewhere along the way, family and neighbors started calling. Then friends of friends. The questions never stopped — and I realized I like answering them.
So this site is simple: read a bit about me, then send me your question. I’ll write back personally. It’s free.
What I answer
If it’s not on this list but you think I might know — ask anyway. Worst case I’ll point you to someone who does.

06Sometimes the toughest question isn’t mechanical. I’ll listen, and share what I’ve learned.
Ask about thisWhy trust me
I’ve spent my working life inside the guts of things most people never see. Aircraft turbines. Hydraulic presses. The stubborn dryer in the laundry room. Different problems, same approach: look carefully, think honestly, then work it out.
Ask me anything. If I know, I’ll tell you plainly. If I don’t, I’ll say so — and often I’ll know who does.
