Educational Philosophy:  My goal is to treat each individual student with respect and to encourage them to respect themselves and those around them.  I emphasize the importance of honesty and good grooming in the workplace, which opens doors for them to display their talents in the plumbing trade.  I encourage them to never give up on themselves and if they learn this trade, they can make an honest living.
