But he soon made the switch back to IT in 2012 as an IT Technician for the college.
In 2015 he followed his dream of becoming a teacher and joined the faculty at Dixie Tech as an IT instructor. “What I love the most about teaching is seeing the ‘look of understanding’ hit a student’s face.. that moment when a subject they have been struggling with finally becomes understandable. I love the idea that I am helping someone achieve their dreams and goals.”
