My name is Scott Greene and I have been an Automotive Technician since 1983 which means I have been in the automotive industry in some form for the past 33 years. I have an ASE Master Certification in Automotive Technology, Advanced Electronics, and Diesel Technology. I also have a Level 3 Career Technical Endorsement in Automotive Technology or the equivalent of an Associates Degree in Technical Education.
I began my career as a technician working for various Automotive Dealerships and eventually worked my way into owning my own Automotive Repair Business. After 11 years of running a successful automotive business I determined it was time to change my career path and become an instructor. This move has been very successful and I am now using my experience to motivate and share knowledge with those who desire a career in the automotive industry.
