Clint found his love for cars not long after he turned sixteen. With a fire inside and a longing for knowledge, he set out to understand every working of the modern automobile — and he would not settle until that understanding was complete.

The journey

Universal Technical Institute

An associate’s degree in Automotive Science & Diesel Technology, Ford STAR certification, admission to the BMW STEP program, and BMW Level 1 Master Technician.

Atlanta, GA
BMW dealership — lead technician

Nearly eight years at a BMW dealership, advancing to lead technician — then to an independent BMW & MINI shop, broadening his expertise across European repair.

Santa Rosa Beach, FL
Shop foreman

Ten years with the same organization in Walton County, expanding beyond BMW and MINI to a wide range of European and import vehicles — and rising to shop foreman.

AutoHaus Gulf Coast is founded

With support from family, friends, church, and community, Clint opened his own shop — built on the principles of Faith, Family, and Freedom, and a desire to give back locally.

“Complete expertise may be unattainable — but I remain committed to continuous learning and growth within the field.”
