78. Grinding Gravel to Certified Yamaha Tech

Kimberly Dimmick is such a fun and adventurous woman! She is a boat technician who says “YES” to big opportunities. Right out of high school, Kim was rising through the ranks at a local hotel, cleaning, doing room inspections and also learning maintenance. With only the front desk left to learn, she was feeling uncertain about her next steps. A construction crew came to stay at the hotel and randomly, Kim jumped on a job offer to work in road construction. There was a lot to learn and the hours were long. At the end of their road work day, the 5 person crew was then responsible for repairing and maintaining their own equipment. This is where she began to shine, learning how to repair service trucks, working on diesel equipment, performed welding, and fabrication. Within seven years, Kim went from grinding gravel to lady foreman! After 10 years, she took a break, got married and became a mom. One day, when she helped her husband on some boat projects at his job, she was also offered a job and now she is a Certified Yamaha Technician.

It’s so refreshing to hear how so much of her experience has been positive and how her gender never really mattered. No doubt that Kim’s drive and mastery of any job she is given, not to mention her positive attitude, plays a role in her success.
