Gino Besenti definitely has a hunger to learn. The counter/inside sales employee of [North Coast Electric](https://www.northcoastelectric.com/) has completed [EPEC](https://www.naed.org/epec-overview) Bronze, Silver, Gold, [Datacom & Video](https://www.naed.org/epec-datacom), [Automation](https://www.naed.org/epec-automation) and [Lighting](https://www.naed.org/epec-lighting)! Because of this, we wanted to ask him a few questions and give him a shout-out. Kudos, Gino!

Q: How have these courses helped you in your career? In working with the customer?

A:These courses have helped me out tremendously by being able to articulate around a multitude of conversations in regards to the customer's project. When the customer goes in depth with their project, I understand what they are talking about, thanks to the material that I have had to learn. The courses have guided me to always ask questions.

Q: How did you stay motivated to keep going in your courses? How did you fit this into your busy life?

A: Staying motivated to finish the courses was really tough,  I lost track of how many times I had to answer the same question over and over again. I kept telling myself that if I could just answer a few more questions, then I could be done…until the next chapter. My best strategy was to set up short term goals, accomplish it and then move on to the next goal.

Q: You’re definitely a go-getter. What’s next for you?

A: I am always looking for new training, however I have finished them all. I am hoping that they will come out with something new and more in depth, until then I will keep my fingers crossed.
