Jeronimo Prieta Medina stands in his truck bed, surrounded by the equipment he uses in his heavy equipment repair business, JP Mechanic and Welding, based at his Siler City home. He earned certificates in welding, hydraulics and maintenance at Central Carolina Community College, which enabled him to be an in-demand employee for several heavy equipment companies. In 2009, he went to the college’s Small Business Center in Chatham County and learned how to establish and operate his own successful heavy equipment repair business. He works hard, but enjoys being his own boss. The business can be reached at (919) 650-7438.
