Mr. Jerry Martin has taught Construction Carpentry at the Garrard ATC since 2019. Mr. Martin began his career in construction in 2001, working as a skilled carpenter and eventually branching out to own a home improvement business. When asked about his pathways, Mr. Martin says, "Construction skills are something that will always be needed. Even if the students do not work in this field post-high school, the skills that they acquire will always serve them well."
