<h1>Austin Hood</h1>
<p class="intro">Mechanic, musician, and maker from Whitehall, Michigan. I spend my days rebuilding transmissions and my nights strumming an acoustic guitar. I believe in doing it right the first time, and I'm always looking for ways to mentor the next generation.</p>

<h2>About Me</h2>
<p>I'm a 37-year-old ASE Master Technician. My life is built on the rhythm of the garage and the quiet of Lake Michigan. I spend my days diagnosing hybrid systems and rebuilding transmissions with meticulous record-keeping, and my evenings strumming an acoustic guitar or planning my next road trip in my restored 1965 Mustang.</p>
<p>I believe that every craftsman has a "First Slip" — a mistake that teaches them more than any textbook ever could. I'm sharing my story, and I hope you'll share yours too.</p>
