Hey, my name is Mike. I live in stupid hot, sunny and dry Mesa, Az (I know "it's a dry heat"). I have been working in the auto body field for more than 13 years now. I have worked in collision and restoration and currently work for myself so I can pick and choose the work I want. As I work for myself I also have returned to college to pursue a mechanical engineering degree. I decided to join this forum to have access to a larger community of information so I can stay informed on anything going on with the autopainting industry.
