Episode Synopsis
Send us a textYou’ve never heard a ‘how I got into the industry’ story like Hector’s! Get to know the man behind the videos: a person of faith, family man, and absolutely the real deal. Hector will inspire you to speak your dreams into reality and is a living example that there is strength in being vulnerable about our fears, hopes and dreams. On the wrenching side, learn how his background as a motorcycle mechanic impacts his approach to turf equipment. Important reminders on chainsaw and chipper safety, as well as communicating with and caring about your operators, are discussed. Find out which PBS superstar influenced Hector to create Hector’s Shop and begin his video career, and how the desire to spend more time with his family resulted in taking his show on the road. We wrap up with all the details on Hector’s new venture, the Hector’s Shop Outdoor Power Equipment Training Center, and how the void in technical education for homeschool students called him to teach in a new way for future generations of techs. We’re thrilled to hear all the ways our industry has come together to support someone who has given so much to educate and support us.
