Currently instructing at a College level in the Canadian Electrical field, 1st and 3rd year apprentice electricians in electronics, machine programming, transformer and motor theory and installation methods.
Past accomplishments are 40 years working in mechanical electrical trades as a licensed Master Electrician, licensed Refrigeration Mechanic Red Seal, Gas Technician class 1, licensed 3rd Class Stationary Engineer and Licensed 4th Class Marine Diesel Engineer.
Over 22 years successfully operating my own HVAC/R Corporation, gaining extensive experience in the industrial/commercial sector.
This has all contributed to 1st hand experience that I'm able to bring to the trades learner and those who would just like to further their understanding and experience in designing, building, installing, operating, troubleshooting and repair of machines and machine control.
I am certified in teaching adults as required to enter the Canadian College system as an instructor.
I've had over 30 years experience in public speaking and besides discovering my new passion to be developing and teaching courses and their accompanying instructional videos, quizzes and tests, I've also had a long standing love of learning Mandarin Chinese! Weird yup, but hey...
Hoping to produce this lesson in Chinese soon.
But I find it always satisfying to take a complicated subject and make it simple, easier to learn and if I can't, then I simply don't know it.
