In this course students will be introduced to the skill of technical drawing; also referred to as "engineering drawing" as well as "drafting". The class begins with an overview of the basic principles of technical drawing. Students are introduced to the primary tools of the drafting process. During this portion of the class, we answer these fundamental questions: What is the purpose of technical drawing? Where and how is technical drawing used? Why is this skill so important in so many different fields? The class begins with a lesson covering these questions to build an understanding of the process and purpose. Students will then follow my lead in the step-by-step creation of a proper isometric drawing. Each student will create their own drawing while following my example and instruction. The final outcome of even a well-taught technical drawing is an impressive creation that students will want to display with pride.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Thank you for checking out my Bio!
I have taught a multi-subject curriculum to my own children for the past 3 years; covering all core subjects and many child-selected electives. My classes focus on developing practical skill sets and building a well-rounded education for success in life.
My professional background has provided me with a diverse education through a variety of worldly experiences.
In 2008 I confounded a manufacturing company specializing in in the development and production of materials used in the utility solar power industry. My daily responsibilities included overseeing all divisions of this new yet rapidly expanding business while creating strong and strategic industry partnerships.
The tireless dedication to professionalism and adherence to personal values resulted in the growth of our company footprint as well as our market offering.
With a focus on positive leadership along with an entrepreneurial and strategic mindset, I grew this new business into a best-in-class industry leader. Such efforts resulted in the creation of 4 new US based manufacturing plants, over 1,000 new domestic jobs, and finally the expansion into the global market.
In my classes I focus on helping students understand the world around them by teaching fun courses that explain how things work. My teaching style is based on educating students by providing the safe and fun environment that makes them want to participate and learn more. The philosophy behind my teaching is educating students by keeping them engaged and interested in the course materials.
My favorite hobby is inventing! Building something new and exciting! Join me and let’s share our ideas to help make them come to life!
