Piedmont Team

	Geornette Jackson Geornette Jackson is the service manager at Catherine’s Piedmont who got into the car business by accident. A family friend asked Geornette to help out at an auto repair franchise with some office work for about a week while she was still in high school, and she ended up staying for 5 years as their customer service manager! She discovered that she loves working with people and she enjoys the challenge of learning about cars. She stayed with this franchise for 13 more years, taking their management training course and working at various stores as service advisor and manager. She also attended Georgia State University during this time and graduated with a degree in Business Management. We sure are glad she brought her exceptional customer service and management skills to us in 2007! Geornette grew up in Decatur and lives in Atlanta now with her two daughters, Kennedy and Kailyn.

	Frank Kowalewicz Frank Kowalewicz is a self-taught ASE certified technician with over 25 years experience who has been working at a Master level for the majority of that time. Prior to his career in the automotive industry, he spent 8 years in the Navy as a dental tech. He then worked at various independent repair shops over the years before joining us at the Piedmont shop in 2003. We are fortunate to employ such an experienced, honest, and industrious tech with a genuine concern for customers and their cars. Originally from Ohio, Frank got tired of the cold weather up there and moved to the Atlanta area where he lives with his wife Pam and daughter Sara.
	Chris Williamson Chris Williamson is a Master ASE certified technician who grew up always wanting to work on cars. He studied Auto Mechanics in high school while also working part-time in an auto shop. He then attended the Nashville Auto Diesel College and worked on tractor trailers for 4 years. After that he worked at Chrysler dealerships for 15 years, specializing in engine repair, and achieved Chrysler Master Tech certification. He came to Catherine’s Piedmont in 2009. He is a very thorough tech who enjoys talking to customers and helping solve their problems. He and his wife Iia have a son and daughter, Austin and Nia.
	Hiep Vuong Hiep Vuong is originally from Vietnam but moved to the U.S. as a child. He has always liked cars and started working on them seriously after graduating high school. He worked at a Toyota dealership for 10 years and also at a Honda/Acura specialty shop for many years before becoming part of the Catherine’s Auto Repair team in 2009. He is a hard-working technician who takes tremendous pride in his work.
	Max Wilson Max Wilson grew up in the Atlanta area working on cars with his father (who is also a mechanic) as far back as he can remember, and even worked with him in an auto shop for awhile. He took a year off to work for AmeriCorps in Washington State and then moved to Colorado and worked for a Honda/Toyota/Subaru shop. Back in Atlanta, he started at Catherine’s Piedmont in 2009 as the shop porter/mechanic apprentice but impressed us so quickly with his abilities that we soon advanced him to an intermediate technician position. With his mechanical aptitude and strong desire to learn, we feel certain that he will make a great Master Tech in the not too distant future.
