Who is this guy???
Despite a background in the United States Air Force & a supply chain degree (believe it or not, zero experience fixing machines!), I found myself on the front lines of industrial automation in the Food & Beverage industry.
Talk about a baptism by fire! The pressure to learn quickly was intense.
That's where my mentor, a renowned expert in the field, came in. Under their guidance, I not only mastered troubleshooting in under a year, but I also saw the inefficiencies in the traditional learning process.
That's why I created this program – a streamlined approach that cuts through the fluff and gets you up to speed fast, no matter your background.
