DEVELOPING TOMORROW’S TAHLTAN MECHANICAL TALENTBecoming a mechanic is a goal Shaymus Nole has held since the age of six, watching his dad (who also works with TNDC) work on vehicles. Within a few years, he was repairing discarded bicycles from the garbage dump. By the age of 13, his focus turned to small recreation vehicles, beginning with quads he found at the dump, drawing on knowledge gained watching YouTube videos and examining operating machines. Word of his repairs spread in the community and people began giving him 3 wheels, quads and snowmobiles, which he then kept, sold or traded. |
