As a high school senior, he won the North Carolina Plymouth Troubleshooting Contest \u2013 Written Skills, in 1978. Post high school, he worked as a transmission technician and builder at a GM Dealership from 1978 \u2013 1982. In 1982 he assumed the operational control of the family business and ran it until 1987. He began teaching automotive classes, part time, at Richmond Technical College in 1986 and soon discovered his calling to teach full time. In 1987, he took the position as automotive department head and instructor at Nash Community College in Rocky Mount, NC. In 1990, the opportunity to become a GM ASEP instructor led him to follow his passion to Greenville, SC and teach at Greenville Technical College through 1999. He returned to his roots late in 1999 as a transmission builder until industry came calling in 2001. Keith then took the position as the NC \/ SC regional Instructor for AC Delco through 2006. Next, he became an AC Delco Market Area Service Manager until 2008. His next assignment was Regional Supervisor managing the AC Delco Southeast Region until 2019. In 2020, Keith completed his bachelor\u2019s degree in business management graduating from Southern Wesleyan University \u2013 Magna Cum Laude. In 2020, Keith took the position of Southeast Regional Instructor and serves in that capacity to the present day. Throughout his GM journeys, Keith has acted as project leader, writer, and subject matter expert in many of the courses that he and others have delivered to the nation. Keith is the proud father of four children (all college graduates), four grandsons and three granddaughters.<\/p>\n\n                                <div class=\"session-brief\">\n                        <div class=\"session-title is-style-h6\">Refrigeration Systems Operation and Testing<\/div>\n                        <p><strong>01-21-2027 | 1:00-4:15 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n                        <p>\n                            This training seminar provides technicians an overview of refrigeration system design, operation, and servicing.
