Seven years ago, Chris Compton was an HVACR instructor at North Idaho College looking for a way to implement HVACR curriculum on the Internet. He saw a unique opportunity to help traditional students as well as non-degree seeking students, people interested in starting a career in HVACR, contractors, the industry in general, and all those searching for a way to educate their workers to be successful in the ICE and NATE exams.

Since then, Chris has taken many telelearning courses on how to set up online curriculum, the psychology behind online learning, how to create Web pages, and video instruction and design for the Web. Currently, Chris is the project director and content development manager (as well as chief cook and bottle washer) of an online company.
