Wayne’s oilfield and agriculture experience encompasses maintenance on process and production equipment, electrical design, project management, and all facets of electrical and instrumentation contracting. His in-depth experience with Arc flash studies, estimating, compliance, safety, trouble-shooting, and diverse types of equipment including VFD's, and PLC's is invaluable in his hands-on teaching with CTG.

As an Instructor with Lakeland College for six years, he focused on the application of code and theory in the workplace to equip students with the tools, knowledge, and trouble-shooting skills they would need in their work.
