Kinley Sizemore - Mechanic

 

Kinley Sizemore poses with used tires on the afternoon of October 21 at Walmart on South Santiam Highway in south Lebanon. He has worked as a service technician at Walmart for eleven months. He has worked with cars for twenty years; he attributes his knowledge to his father who was a mechanic. There is no such thing as a typical day for Kinley. He could be incredibly busy one day and slow the next. He works three opening and two closing shifts each week with a weekend on Monday and Tuesday. He enjoys his job because he gets to know people and does what he loves, working on vehicles. He spends his free time fixing up cars and hanging out with his kids.
