Experience Summary
I received a BA in History from the University of Arkansas in 1991. My cumulative GPA at the U of A was 3.96. I was in the Honors Program and graduated Summa cum Laude. I also received several other academic awards from the History Department and the University.
I have worked in the Commercial Construction industry for the past seventeen years. For the past five years I have been deeply involved in employee training. I have designed curriculums and provided training in safety as well as general construction knowledge such as Blue-print Reading, Scheduling, Basic Carpentry, etc.
Teaching Style
While my experience as a trainer has been with adult employees, they have been a diverse group in terms of age, educational background, literacy and experience. I believe what is important in teaching is first to have a passion for it, second to have knowledge of the subject matter, and third to have the communication skills to connect with your students.
