At 37 years old, Kent Woodworth began working on Ferraris and Maseratis in 2004. But he has more degrees than a thermometer. With three Challenge seasons under his belt (360 and 430, '05, '06 and '07), Kent hasn't wasted any time learning as much as possible. Both his Ferrari and Maserati training passports are littered with accreditations that rival most technicians who have been working three times as long as he has.

Woodworth's extensive Maserati experience makes him an asset to Universal Autosports. He has new model training and certification with the Quattroporte, the M145 (Gran Turismo), and the GranSport. Kent also took a Ferrari factory training course at the Bosch Training Facility for Bosch Standards of Service Excellence - a course that is no longer available to anyone, anywhere.

While Kent is relatively new to Ferrari and Maserati by old timer standards, he's not wet behind the ears by any means when it comes to being a technician. His degrees from the Bronx Community College include: Alternative Fuel Vehicles, Electronic Systems & Diagnostic Methods, NGV System Integration & Emissions, and Electrical Diagnostic Training. His ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) degrees include Refrigerant Recovery & Recycling, NYS MVAC (motor vehicle air conditioning), Engine Machinist & Advanced Level Specialist, and ASE Certified Master Automobile Technician.

But before Kent started turning wrenches on these beloved cars from Maranello, he was a technician in the Navy. More specifically, he was a fighter and attack aircraft mechanic. Kent knows that there is no margin for error when working on a fighter jet, and he has brought that top shelf mentality and skill with him throughout the years. He nearly took a Research and Development contract with Grumman, but we're glad he went the Ferrari route instead. Trumping the registered technician credentials, Kent has worked his way up to a Ferrari Certified Technician.
