Why Did You Choose to Become a Master Instructor?

Greenlee Tools have been around for over 150 years. Tools that I have used throughout my career that have been constantly redeveloped for better ergonomics, better reliability, and safety. Greenlee developed these classes to promote the proper and safe use of their tools. This will help the electrical industry as a whole and I wanted to be part of that.

Benefits of Being a Master Instructor

At NC3 events, I meet other instructors from all over the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. To properly train someone at NC3 events is always challenging because you are meeting people with different backgrounds, knowledge of the tools, and above all else different safety standards. Having the proper in-depth curriculum, tools for everyone to use, and the knowledge of the other instructors - all with the common goal to learn - makes these events special because everyone participates and helps everyone learn. They will remember the school and instructor when they return home and hopefully keep looking at what other courses are developed in the future and return or at least tell other instructors about the programs that are available to sign up.
