Bay State and made a presentation to Bay State’s
Commercial HVACR class on the latest tools available
for an HVACR Technician’s toolbox. Accompanied
by Matt Theriault, of D.C.N.E.’s Plymouth location,
and their fully equipped mobile showroom van, they

Introducing Alex Frisbie,
Graduate of Bay State School of Technology’s
Electronics Technician Day Program
Alex grew up in Marshfield,
MA, and has lived there most of
his life except for a handful of
years spent on the central coast
of California. Alex graduated from Marshfield High School
in 2006. After graduation, Alex worked as an automotive
technician. He then joined the U.S. Air Force as a Security
Forces/Alarm Monitor responsible for monitoring security alarms that protected Multi-Billion-Dollar Air Force
resources, monitor Closed Circuit TV systems, security,
gate guard, and police work -management of 40+ security
officers.
After finishing his stint in the Air force, Alex’s decision to
go back to school was based on his need for a career change.
Alex searched for technical based electronics courses near
him and that is how he found Bay State School of Technology. The two reasons he chose BSST were the “Hands-On”
nature of our Electronics Technician course, and the fact
that Bay State was approved for Veterans Training by the
Veteran’s Administration. The compact, reasonably short
nature of the curriculum was also appealing because it would
allow him to quickly get started in his new career.
BAY STATE
SCHOOL OF
TECHNOLOGY
The part of Bay State that he enjoyed the most was the
instructors’ ability to teach complex theories in a way he
could understand. That training has set him up with an exciting new career with seemingly unlimited potential.
“The instructors were great in every aspect. They made
learning in a fast-paced environment easy even while taking notes on literally EVERYTHING, not to mention all the
digital media they provided. Their knowledge in all areas of
the industry was invaluable.” The tips and tricks he learned
at school have already put him in great shape to quickly
excel at his job. Alex also likes the fact that the instructors
are available for consultation long after graduation.
Alex and his classmates were challenged by Instructor
Ray Cross and Director of Education John Iemma, to repair
a Dynascan machine and get it back to working order. A
Dynascan is a cylindrical 360-degree video display used in
airports and theater to advertise products, and provide information. After much hard work, the soon-to-be Technicians
got the Dynascan programmed and working again.
Alex works for Sunrise Systems Inc., which manufactures LED signs and displays. He is responsible for the
technical support and complete repair of all their hardware.
Alex is currently in the process of learning printed circuit
board design as well as programming.
Alex and his wife Brooke currently reside in Marshfield,
MA. They are hoping to buy a home within the next year
with an eye toward expanding their family. Alex and his
wife are thankful for the new opportunities provided by
Bay State School of Technology. We wish Alex continued
success in his new career. ■
