Our Staff

Our instructors are not Ivy League professors with bow ties. We are experienced maintenance professionals, with a minimum of twenty and up to forty years' experience. We relate very well to our students and they to us. Our full-time instructors teach four weeks out of five. On their "off" weeks, they visit customer plants and consult with plant managers and maintenance technicians on-site, keeping intimately involved with the industry.
