If I am on campus and can be found at the Madrone building which houses the Automotive Technology Lab and Classroom.
I am a part-time instructor in the Automotive Technology Department, specializing in automatic transmissions/transaxles, and EV Technology. I am also the Automotive Technology Department liaison with the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Foundation, which provides program accreditation.
The best way I can be reached is via email - northropp@yosemite.edu I try to respond to messages within a few hours.
My past endeavors:
Retired now, my entire career has related to the automotive industry. For many years I was a sales and operations executive, dealing with automotive products and services to those industry members.
I was also a part owner of retail Car Audio and Accessory stores in the bay area for over 10 years.
I have always been passionate about cars and I have owned quite a few. My current "collector car" is a 1982 Corvette, which I’ve owned for about 18 years.
I enjoy working on cars and with students, therefore one of my passion’s is teaching automotive technology.
