Biography

Charles Christensen has worked many years in the manufacturing industry; in fact, he is a graduate of the very program he now teaches. Upon graduating, Charles went on to work for a major manufacturer of equipment in the dairy and juice industry. He worked various roles such as machine production and testing, packaging development, machine development and field service.

Speaking from experience, Charles says that graduates of this program leave with a strong mix of electrical, mechanical, fluid power and PLC knowledge, along with skills to troubleshoot.

His main goal as an instructor is to create employable graduates.

In his spare time, Charles enjoys hunting, fishing, gardening, “playing” with his old tractors and almost anything outdoors.
