RR 180: Jorge Menchu from AES Wave and Industry Instructor
Jorge Menchu grew up in Kansas City, MO. At an early age, his go-cart brought upon
his passion for loving cars and mechanics. This in turn developed a passion for learning.
When it started.
His learning techniques have been with him since seventh grade when he discovered and then understood patterns. He credits Leonardo Da Vinci for that gift.
Focus on learning.
Jorge’s goal is to help young folks to realize their own success and failure. As he developed his learning strategy, he realized that schools never teach the techniques of learning.
Where have you seen Jorge.
He’s taught at AAPEX and Vision just to name a few venues. Many technicians have either seen Jorge in person or on video. Many who have seen his colored wiring diagrams and teachings in electrical circuits have made great strides in their diagnostic skills.
