TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
“In Auto Restoration, we spend a lot of time working on the objects and learning the processes. As a teacher, I try to help my students realize it’s the people that make what we do so important. Whether it’s us studying antique automobiles or the current caretakers of them or others we meet along the way…. it’s all about the people.”

Professor Goodwin’s work experience includes line technician, service manager, and owner/operator of his own garage business for several years. In addition, he served for 19 years as an automotive instructor at Northwest Kansas Technical College in Goodland, teaching in the areas of transmissions, differentials and drivelines, engine repair, automotive heating and air-conditioning, and hybrid systems.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
“My interest in cars and all things mechanical is something I cannot explain; it has always come to me naturally. It was not until I sat in a classroom filled with other like-minded young students, learning about the finer points of the automobile, that I felt at home in an educational environment and my desire to learn more was fueled. As a teacher, my hope is that my students find comfort that they are in a place with like-minded curious people and I can provide spark and fuel for their passion and careers. I get fuel from their success – their success is my success.”

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
“To me, there is nothing more fascinating than the people around me.  No matter what I teach, whether it be mechanics, history, writing, or molecular chemistry, I focus on first figuring out what we know, and then the people who figured out how we know what we know.  I love teaching because it helps myself and those around me come closer to the basic curiosity that at some level animates all of us.  I teach because others want to know, and because I want to know, too.”
