EDUCATION

I grew up in Tinley Park Illinois where I graduated from Tinley Park High School in 1978.

I was not very serious about school but was good at sports!

That's not me, that's Fletch! We do have a sense of humor that we use, it's great for training! And the picture does represent this time of my life.

I received an Associate’s degree in NDT from Moraine Valley Community College in 1982.

I played basketball and enrolled in auto mechanics but switched to NDT.

I still did not have good study habits or get good grades.

During this time my first Child was born and I became a serious student.

I used my new skills to study quicker and spend more time with my family. I aimed for B's for the employer reimbursement but got some A's by mistake!
