Meet Trey McGinnis, the newest addition to the Tech901 Instructor dream team. A lifelong Memphian and son of two teachers, it is only natural that the CBU graduate would find himself in the front of a classroom. Trey fostered his interest in technology from an early age and even began tinkering with computers with encouragement from his Computer teacher in junior high. STEM shapes the future, people!

**"I worked with Aaron at CBU before he came to Tech901. He told me about the new instructor job and it was something I was interested in. Tech901 allows me to mesh my IT experience with my educational experience to make a real difference in people's lives. I feel very fortunate to be on the team!"**

In addition to teaching IT Foundations courses this year, Trey is also interested in furthering his certification scope. Next stop? CompTIA Network+ and Security+! Additionally, Trey wants to add Web Programming experience to his skillset. 

**"I'm a huge Star Wars fan. For the past few years I've been a member of the 501st Legion, an international group that dresses up in Star Wars costumes to benefit charities and non-profits all over the world. My main costume is a Stormtrooper, but I have a few others in the works. One of my favorite experiences was being a backup dancer for Weird Al Yankovic during one of his concerts in Southaven. "**

When he's not defending the Galactic Empire, Trey loves visiting local restaurants, like [Casablanca](https://www.casablancamemphis.com/) and [Westy's](http://www.westysmemphis.com/), and visiting beautiful Overton Park and the Memphis Zoo.

**"I think Tech901 is in a unique position to train an IT workforce for Memphis and, perhaps more importantly, get them into their first IT job."**

Trey will be the Instructor of the upcoming IT Foundations afternoon course this April in the 2pm-5pm slot. [Apply today!](https://info.tech901.org/apply-today)
