Meet the instructor
Howard Fraley is the Power Equipment Mechanics program instructor. Mr. Fraley has been at TCTC since 2019, and he worked in the industry for 21 years before joining our team.
I grew up always loving to work on engines. It is something I have always wanted to do. I thought it would be cool to take a class like Power Equipment Mechanics, where I could work on engines instead of sitting in a classroom. I enjoy the opportunity of making friends and working together with them in this program. We have a lot of fun together.
