Grad Howard Thornton
2010 GRAD HOWARD THORNTON
As far back as he can remember, Howard Thornton has been surrounded by automobiles.
“My father was a mechanic and my stepdad,” he said. “I pretty much grew into it.”
An August 2010 graduate of NCC’s Youth and Adult Automotive Training Center program, Thornton landed a job at Goodyear Brake-o-Rama in Elizabeth three months later. He does everything from engine replacements and transmission repairs to working on radiators and axles.
“There’s no job that can’t be done,” he said. “I’m always looking to get the job done. You just have to be motivated and be willing to learn and do the work.”
