- “I moved across the country to be an instructor here and it’s because the school has its students’ education at the forefront,” says marine instructor Steve Mercado.
Meet Steve Mercado, a seasoned professional in the marine industry and a proud graduate of UTI's Diesel Technology program in Avondale.1 His journey from student to teacher is one filled with passion and dedication.
Drawn to the flexibility of the marine industry, he shares, “I immediately went into the high-end yachting industry. I worked on large diesel engines and my career in the field lasted 39 years.”2
Influenced by his own teachers, he decided to give back by becoming a marine instructor at Marine Mechanics Institute. He explains, “The lessons they taught me when I was 19 years old carried me throughout my entire career so I wanted to give back.”
