Your Instructor(s)

Hello, I’m Rex Thornock. I spent nine years working in industry in mechanical and manufacturing drafting before starting my teaching career here at the Tech College back in 1996. The exciting thing about drafting is that there are so many things being invented, designed, and created right now.
You can get involved with all these new products with Computer Aided Drafting Technology training here at the college. The pay is good and it’s a rewarding field. Computer Aided Drafting is also a stepping stone into many engineering fields. I would love to discuss Computer Aided Drafting Technology or Interior Design Drafting with you.
