Sessions of 2024 Summer Conference: Brett Camacho
Mr. Camacho, Brett
LEEPS Master Instructor Dept. Chair-Advanced Fabrication & Transportation
Brett Camacho started welding at age 12, helping with his family’s business. While in high school, he decided to pursue becoming a high school agriculture mechanics teacher. During college, he continued to work for his family’s business and do side jobs in welding. After earning his bachelorette, teaching credentials and master’s degree at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, Brett became a high school welding instructor. He eventually started his own welding and fabrication business with a partner that specialized in building stainless steel irrigation filtration system components and custom signs and parts. In 2005, Brett transitioned to Fresno City College as a fulltime welding and fabrication instructor. He maintains strong industry partnerships through sitting on advisory and hiring committees, conducting workshops, hosting welding competitions, and fabricating projects for local businesses - one of which was building orangutan sleeping baskets and feeders for the Fresno Chaffee Zoo. In 2022, Camacho was chosen as LEEPS Instructor of the Year and said, "It's especially meaningful since it aligns closely with my goals to help bridge the gap between training and industry and increase the number of skilled welders ready to enter the workforce."
