Who at TSTC has had the most influence on your success?

My automotive instructor Adan Gutierrez has had the most influence on my success. He has so much experience in the field and is full of knowledge that he loves sharing with all of his students. He is an inspiration and I hope someday that I can be as successful as he is.
