Who will be teaching?

Richo (he/they) is a DIY car maintenance enthusiast and enjoys tinkering in the garage at home. He has had many years experience working with vehicles through his work including outback tour guiding, bus driving, truck driving and now works in conservation and bushland management. 

Many hours in remote areas away from roadside assistance has lead Richo to be handy with tools and developed his vehicle trouble shooting, repair and recovery skills.
