He currently teaches part time there. His industry credentials include both an RSES CMS and NATE certification and a State of Georgia Unrestricted Conditioned Air Contracting license. He graduated from the University of Georgia magna cum laude in 1995 with a Bachelor of Science degree in education.

Students start with a strong background in fundamental concepts and theory and then actively apply them to solve real problems. Practice and active application are the keys to students building both confidence and competence. For teaching tips and more, see his HVACR blog.
