Electricity has always been in Wade Smith’s blood. It’s been passed down in his family over three generations. And he is sharing that knowledge with the
heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technology students at
Piedmont Technical College.
Smith is the third-generation owner of Cullum Electric and
Mechanical. He never had any questions of what he wanted to do. He holds
a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Clemson University.
“Electricity has always interested me,” Smith said. “I toyed with the
idea of fiber optics because of a class I took at Clemson, but I like
volts and amps.”
A help wanted ad in the newspaper caught his eye 10 years ago. Piedmont
Tech’s HVAC department was looking for an adjunct instructor to teach
electricity in the program. Smith knew David Kibler, HVAC program
director at the time, through the program’s advisory committee. The idea
of teaching interested him, so he applied.
