Meet the Teacher

Wesley Fridell

I am a local native of Washington state, growing up and attending school on south Whidbey Island. I attended the University of Washington in Seattle.

I have spent my entire working career in the Marine Industry. I was a member of Skagit Valley College's Marine Tech technical advisory committee (TAC), beginning in 2000.

My relationship with the NCTA and its programs began nearly 15 years ago, as I volunteered to serve on the General Advisory Committee. It's been my pleasure to instruct the Marine Services program from the Anacortes campus, since 2014. I have a deep passion for everything that is boating and marine-related.

  • Relevant Learning

    The NCTA Marine program literally saved my son. He was desperate for some kind of school that made sense and where the learning was relevant. Marine services did that for him.
