Tariq Nawabi

I serve my country in the United States Air Force where I specialized in building and maintaining fighter jet engines, a role that demands precision, discipline, and technical expertise. Working on advanced aircraft like the F-15, F-16, and F-22 Raptor, I am responsible for assembling, inspecting, and repairing powerful jet engines to ensure they operate at peak performance so that we may continue to rule the air and keep our great country safe. The work requires a deep understanding of aerospace mechanics and strict adherence to safety and performance standards. My time in the service has instilled in me a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and the ability to perform under pressure—skills that will continue to stay with me long after my military career. Being part of a team that supports national defense through advanced aviation technology has been both challenging and deeply rewarding.

Managed an auto shop/dealership start up and developed as well as implemented strategic sales plans to evolve the business into a successful dealership with a loyal customer base. I not only handled repairs and maintenance, but sourced and sold quality used cars. I managed everything from diagnostics and engine work to customer service and inventory management. I built strong relationships with clients by providing honest assessments and reliable service. On the sales side, I ensured every sourced vehicle was in top condition and handled all aspects of the selling process—from marketing to financing options. Balancing repair work with car sales gave me a well-rounded understanding of the automotive industry and sharpened my skills in both technical service and business operations.
