Austin received a Advanced Diploma with an Auto Mechanics Certification from Amherst High School in May 2019. He was the top of his Auto Mechanics class. Austin worked at KDC where he was the youngest line mechanic and previously worked at Taco Bell where he was the best damn taco maker, fastest steamer, fastest closer and did all of this while making everybody laugh. Austin was passionate about skateboarding and working on cars. He loved to build things, he was a goofy dog lover, he hated being still, and he put his full self into everything he did. He was so dedicated to everything and everyone. He fiercely loved his family and friends and he greeted everyone with his beautiful smile.
