My name is Ryan. Let me start off by saying I live in NC but was born and raised in Sarasota (hour south of tampa). I am making this thread to see if any performance shops in Tampa would be interested in hiring me in the future. Here are my qualifications at this point. I am learning more everyday keep in mind.

Currently a Toyota Technician for almost 2 years
Will be an ASE MASTER cert. technician in December
have an Associates Degree in automotive systems technology
I have about $30k worth of my own payed off tools
My dad is a 25 year master toyota tech and I have been in shops all my life working on cars, trucks, motorcycles, and more.
Have other certifications and experience but those are the major ones. I have experience in all imports. Have done swaps (1jz, sr20, etc.). I don't have welding experience but I plan on learning how to do fabrication work.

If any of you shops in Tampa would consider someone with my qualifications please PM me with your shop info, hours, pay rate, etc.

Even if you are not seriously intersted in hiring at this point I would still love to hear from you about your shop, hours, pay rate so I have an idea of how the indepented performance shops are compared to the dealerships which is where most of my life has been spent.

Thanks in Advanced for your consideration or giving me some information of how working in your shop goes! - Ryan
