Default HELP! Looking for qualified mechanic

Not sure where to put this but..
If any of you know of a qualified mechanic looking to work in a clean modern shop PLEASE let me know. It will mostly entail heavy line work on Corvettes only.
I am only looking for someone who is committed to doing quality work and is willing to learn. Quality is much more important than speed.
Here's a picture of my parking lot taken this morning. You can see why I need help. Thanks

I'm not looking for certifications etc. I'd rather have a person who really likes what he does and is willing to learn to how do it the right way. My best mechanic has been with me for about 4 years and cound barely spell Corvette when he started. He's among the best in the country now.
