Submitted by amy.ewell on

The Mountainland CTE Region is excited to introduce the newest member of our Utah Diesel Tech Pathway Committee, Jake Johnson. His journey through the diesel pathway is nothing short of inspiring, and we are thrilled to have him as the Utah County UDTP Industry Chair.

Jake's story takes us back 25 years to when he was a sophomore at Mountain View High School in Orem. At that pivotal moment, his counselor posed the age-old question, "What do you want to do after graduation?" Jake's response was crystal clear – he wanted to work on heavy equipment. Without missing a beat, his counselor enrolled him in Diesel Repair classes at UVSC (now UVU) for his junior and senior years. And so, his dual high school and diesel tech education journey began.
