Hello, my name is Craig Kielb. I am one of the instructors and the Department Chair
here at the Butte College Automotive Program. I Graduated from Paradise High School
in 2001 and went to Butte College Automotive program the very next semester. I worked
for a couple years in an Independent repair shop before I went to Oroville Ford Lincoln,
where I spent the next seven years. I was a service writer at Chico VW for two years,
then went back to a European repair shop for a few years, while I finished my degree
to teach. I was hired full time to teach here at the Butte College Automotive Program
in 2015. I feel grateful to make a full circle trip throughout the automotive industry,
and now I'm doing what I love best, helping people learn new skills.
Cheers,
Craig Kielb
