Johnny McDonald has only been in Tennessee for a little over a year now, but in that short time, he’s managed to take an ailing HVAC program and turn it around enough to necessitate hiring additional staff. But, McDonald, who serves as an HVACR instructor at Tennessee College of Applied Technology at Murfreesboro (TCAT Murfreesboro), said it’s all in a day’s work.
“I guess I kind of like the challenge of taking something that’s not at its best and making it the best,” he said. “Our placement rate is almost 100 percent.”
