Jaime Gonzalez caught the automotive bug turning wrenches with his dad as a kid.
Since then, he’s worked as an automotive employee, business owner, and educator. He brings all of that experience to his new role as Advanced Transportation and Logistics Deputy Sector Navigator for the Orange County Region, hosted at Golden West College.
Gonzalez attended the Regional Occupational Program at South El Monte High School, which lead to his first job at a high-performance machine shop. He earned an associate degree in Natural Science while working full-time.
He spent 10 years as an automotive employee and then became a business owner. He’s also served as an automotive instructor at Cerritos College.
Gonzalez still holds the passion for automotive technology that he developed as a kid. He is excited to combine his personal and professional experiences in his new role as DSN.
“I am passionate about emerging technologies in the transportation sector,” Gonzalez said. “In collaboration with the Community Colleges and industry experts, I am excited to facilitate innovative training solutions for tomorrow’s highly-skilled workforce.”
