Todd Whitman

My name is Todd Whitman. Before Higgins, I was an automotive service technician for 20 years. Having this experience has helped me with the skills and knowledge I've needed to advance my career as a service technician for Higgins. Most of my time outside of work is spent with my wife of over 20 years and our 3 children. I am also active in our local church and strengthening my walk with Jesus. I center my work and home life on Christ and this specific verse-Colossians 3:23 "And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not men." NKJV
