Electrical Fundamentals
Voltage, amperage, resistance, power, Ohm's Law, series circuits, parallel circuits, and circuit behavior.
View Fundamentals →Practical automotive electrical training, diagnostics, scan tools, and electrical theory built around understanding what you are testing—not memorizing procedures.
Build the theory first, then connect it to the tests and diagnostic decisions technicians make.

Bill brings experience as an automotive technician, dealership service manager, and automotive technology instructor to Bill Teaches Automotive Technology.
The goal is simple: explain automotive systems in a way that helps you understand what you are testing and why the test matters.

My Christian faith shapes how I approach my family, my work, my teaching, and the way I treat others.
More importantly, I believe that forgiveness, hope, and eternal life are found through Jesus Christ. My faith is not simply part of my background; it is the foundation of how I understand life, purpose, and what ultimately matters.
That connection led me to write Toolbox Truths: Devotions From Under the Hood, a 365-day devotional for automotive technicians and tradesmen of faith.
