Four years ago, Ben Strickert began his professional automotive career when he was hired to sweep floors and clean ceilings at Pathfinder Chassis.

Since then, Strickert has learned metal fabrication from ground up. In addition to his chassis fabrication duties, Strickert is also part of the final assembly team at Muscle Up Performance.

Just 20 years old, Strickert is an Edgerton, WI High School graduate and has also completed a two-year Associate Degree in Automotive Repair from Madison Area Technical College.

"I really like working on muscle cars and hot rod projects," stated Strickert. "I went to school for two years to learn how to work on cars. Here, I can build cars, not just work on them. That's great."
