Mandie Rose owns a mobile small engine repair business and works as the primary mechanic. She’s married to Nick, and they have five children ages 6-18. She also teaches small engine camps with hundreds of students each year and has homeschooled since the beginning. Her passion is actively engaging students to work with their hands, promoting the trades by encouraging tradesmen to do the same, and engaging parents to educate their children based on interest and aptitude.
