5 /5 S M: Before entering the Lively technical Plumbing program, I gathered four years of experience. I entered the program during a big shift. The previous program was very limited in resources and more academic book work Style learning. Under Mr Mathis new leadership, we now have Hands-On training to go with every lesson. If you have any interest at all in becoming a plumber or any related field I highly advise you spend two semesters allowing him to guide you.. not only is this teacher available from 8:00 to 4:00 p.m. but there has never been a time when I personally have needed him and he wasnt there out of school, either.He is truly for the students its very refreshing to see someone who loves spreading what has taken him 40 years to cultivate and understand, to the level at which he does. Thank you Mr Mathis you have definitely changed my life professionally and personally
