Meet the Technician Behind Bloodhound Speed Labs
Built on Experience. Driven by Precision.
I built Bloodhound Speed Labs in Haines City, Florida so local drivers could get true dealership-quality care without the dealership runaround. With 14 years of hands-on repair experience and a dealership-trained background, every vehicle, every visit, gets the same level of attention I was trained to deliver in the bay—complete with a multipoint inspection, every single time.
From Chicago Roots to Florida Roads
I grew up just outside Chicago, where bad weather and busy roads will expose a weak repair fast. That environment taught me early that vehicles deserve more than guesswork—they demand precision, accountability, and a technician who takes pride in every bolt they touch.
That drive took me to Universal Technical Institute (UTI), where I trained in modern automotive systems, diagnostics, and manufacturer-level repair standards. From there, I completed Ford FACT certification and a diesel apprenticeship, sharpening my skills on complex platforms where there’s no room for “close enough.”
Seventeen years ago, I made Florida home. Over seven of those years were spent in dealership bays, solving real problems under real pressure and holding every vehicle to factory expectations. Today, with 14 years of total repair experience behind me, I bring that same discipline and detail to Bloodhound Speed Labs here in Haines City, Florida.
When you hand over your keys, you’re not guessing who’s working on your vehicle. You’re working directly with the technician who built this shop from the ground up—and who signs his name to every repair.

Trust is earned in the shop, not just on the sign out front. Bloodhound Speed Labs exists on the foundation of real training, real certification, and real dealership experience—so you know exactly who is under the hood of your vehicle.

Fourteen years spent diagnosing, repairing, and verifying vehicles across platforms—from daily drivers to light-duty work vehicles—so you get seasoned judgment behind every recommendation.
Why I Built Bloodhound Speed Labs
In the dealership world, I saw both sides of the story. On one side: strict standards, advanced tools, and a process that protects your vehicle. On the other: long wait times, confusing invoices, and pricing that put that level of care out of reach for a lot of everyday drivers in places like Haines City.
I didn’t spend years at UTI, in Ford FACT classrooms, and in dealership bays just to check boxes. I trained that hard because I believe every vehicle deserves the same level of care a dealership provides—and local customers deserve access to that expertise without the dealership headache, from a technician who’s called Florida home for 17 years.
Hollywood-Inspired, Haines City Focused
Bloodhound Speed Labs takes a Hollywood-inspired approach to automotive care: every vehicle is treated like it’s about to roll onto a set. Clean work, clear communication, and a finish that inspires confidence when you turn the key. The difference is, you’re not paying Hollywood prices—you’re getting dealership-quality work, locally, from a technician who knows your name.
The Multipoint Inspection Promise
At Bloodhound Speed Labs, every service includes a multipoint inspection. Oil change? Multipoint inspection. Diagnostics? Multipoint inspection. Light-duty repair? Multipoint inspection. That isn’t an upsell or a special package—it’s standard, because that’s what a properly trained technician does.
That inspection is your roadmap. You’ll know what’s healthy, what needs to be watched, and what needs attention now. No scare tactics, no mystery charges—just clear, professional insight into the condition of your vehicle.
Trust Your Vehicle to a Technician Who’s Earned It

At Bloodhound Speed Labs, you get dealership-trained expertise, 14 years of real-world repair experience, and a multipoint inspection with every service so you always know where your vehicle stands.
