I’m Matt, founder of SPRUCES Equipment Repair in West Point, Utah. Through hands-on work servicing mowers, generators, trimmers, and other small-engine equipment, I’ve seen how much easier a repair becomes when you understand what the engine is doing and why it failed.

I created SPRUCES Academy to make that foundation easier to learn. The lessons walk through safety, engine operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting at your own pace, using the kind of practical reasoning I use when working on equipment. Whether you’re caring for your own machines or building your repair skills, my goal is to help you approach the next problem with more confidence.
