Carmen: Inspections/Servicing

Carmen is from New Jersey, USA, but has lived in Finland full time for 10 years now. “I must have taken a wrong turn and ended up here”, Carmen laughs. He has worked at Simeri for 15 years! He began working at Simeri before he even moved to Finland full time, and only spent parts of the year on this side of the globe. Carmen usually goes home at least 1 or 2 times a year to New Jersey, but due to the coronavirus he hasn’t been able to go home for a while. In his spare time Carmen would like to go surfing, but it is too cold for that at the moment. His favourite thing about Finland is its beautiful nature and he spends a lot of time outdoors on daily walks with his dog Lilly.
