INSTRUCTORS

Justin Rowlands 
Auto Services Teacher

I grew up working on cars practically my entire life. I have been racing cars since I was 4.5 years old. My passion for cars runs deep which lead me to get a college degree in Automotive Technology from Pennsylvania College of Technology. I am a certified ASE Master Technician and Advanced Engine Specialist. I started substitute teaching for the local tech center in PA where I grew up and went to school. Between teaching and helping the students prepare for contests such as SkillsUSA I knew that I wanted to teach for a living.
I have helped grow the program at Sollers Point. We have developed partnerships with several manufactures such as General Motors and Ford Motor Company. Teaching someone a passion and not just a subject is one of the most satisfying feelings.
