About the Author

I’ve spent my career in Career and Technical Education as an electrician, educator, administrator, and lifelong learner. My journey began through electrical apprenticeships and teaching at Career and Technical Centers, eventually expanding into administration and higher education.

Along the way, I earned a Bachelor’s degree from Temple University, a Master’s degree from Chestnut Hill College, and a Ph.D. from Penn State University. I also earned National Board Teacher Certification and have had the privilege of teaching at institutions including Temple University and Bucks County Community College.

Today, I continue sharing my passion for education as an online instructor through Udemy, creating courses that make electrical theory, power systems, and technical concepts practical and accessible.

My philosophy has always been simple: every student can learn and succeed. The skilled trades and technical fields offer opportunities for many different talents, and I believe education should inspire students to discover their strengths and build a path toward meaningful work and lifelong learning.
