When Craig Fugate was a kid, he took his sister’s bike apart. He wanted to see how it worked.
“When my dad saw it, he said, ‘Put it back together,’” Craig recalls. “I didn't know how.”
Soon, he did.
“Then I took the radio apart to see how it worked,” he says. “Whatever broke, I’d see if I could fix it. I just always wanted to fix things.”
He got his wish. After high school, Craig attended Lincoln Technical Institute in Maryland and went on to work as a mechanic at a gas station, car dealerships, auto repair shops and landscaping companies.
