About

A lifetime of figuring things out—now yours to borrow.

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

Six areas. One inbox.

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.

Cars & trucks01

Cars & trucks

Weird noises, warning lights, whether that quote is fair, what to check before you buy used.

Homes & repairs02

Homes & repairs

That leak, that stain, that crack, that thing the last contractor did. Ask before you rip it out.

Appliances03

Appliances

Washer, dryer, fridge, dishwasher, HVAC. Fix or replace? I’ll help you decide.

Ask about this
Jet & aircraft engines04

Jet & aircraft engines

42 years on CFM56s and powerplant systems. Students, mechanics, curious minds — ask away.

Ask about this
Hydraulics05

Hydraulics

Presses, lifts, industrial systems. If it moves fluid under pressure, I’ve probably wrenched on one.

Family matters06

Family matters

Sometimes the toughest question isn’t mechanical. I’ll listen, and share what I’ve learned.

Why trust me

A real expert — not a search result.

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.
