Had the pleasure to meet the owner Chris today as I navigated the electrical basics class. I am mad I haven’t come sooner. The class was personable , informative, hands on and all around a great experience. I was able to ask questions and left way more knowledgeable than when I showed up. I will definitely be back! Thank you for a great experience today!
