Gotcha,

So then I think that it would make sense like this:

Universal Technical Institute (UTI) – Houston, TX: Diploma Automotive/Diesel/Industrial Technology: Graduated October 2006: GPA 3.71
Central High School – San Angelo, TX: Graduated May 2005
State inspector

My thought is that it's three separate items and should be listed that way. Your areas of emphasis are extensive and it would be bulky to split them up. For your education and license, I think they should be listed on separate lines. I also made a couple of changes / edits to the wording for consistency or to remove items that seem unnecessary.

Thoughts?

From this:

Universal Technical Institute (UTI) – Houston, TX Diploma Automotive/Diesel/Industrial Technology Graduated October 6, 2006 GPA 3.71 Central High School – San Angelo, TX Diploma: General Studies Graduated: May 2005
state inspector

To this:

Universal Technical Institute (UTI) – Houston, TX: Diploma Automotive/Diesel/Industrial Technology: Graduated October 2006: GPA 3.71
Central High School – San Angelo, TX: Graduated May 2005
State inspector

For UTI I put a colon after Technology and removed 6 so that it just reads October 2006 vs. October 6, 2006. I'm not sure that the exact date is relevant.
For Central High School I removed General Studies. Nobody really majors in anything in high school unless you receive some special certification or licensing in a particular field.

These are just suggestions as I think that it makes it easier to read and a little "cleaner."

Looks pretty good but I have just a couple of nits.

Others have suggested that you can the cover letter, probably pretty good advice, but it can be a customized one can be a powerful tool. fer instance you could do a short cover letter for Christian brothers explaining thatwhy you want to the job in their particular place, and why you might be be a uniquely special liknk. For instance their reputation for quality work, and your desire to be the best their is. etc.

I believe that "Michelle on Demand is a particular software package, you may wish to ensure it is in quotes or Italicized, otherwise it could be confusing.

Yeah, I know, ole Liberty giving out advice on writing is a bit absurd.
