Background

About Mark Thoreson

Wyoming Professional Training is my career closing the circle. This business combines my passion for teaching, for giving back to others and in building communities. Our course lineup is diverse and expanding. We teach 'the base of the pyramid' skills so our grads will have a solid foundation as their jobs train them for the necessary specific skills in that role. Basic Cooking; Basic Sewing; Dental Assisting; Veterinary Technician Assisting; Front Desk Admin/Customer Service; Personal Trainer; CNA at all 3 levels. I've been engaged in development of my dental device in the past many years. Extensive engineering changes, design modifications and embracing new technologies have been great learning experiences. My clinical career taught me leadership and toughness. My teaching career taught me to be curious again and that I still need to learn, even with back-to-basics sciences reviews. My sales career taught me about verbal combat and to think on my feet and to bounce back when things are not going well. Life has taught me that attitude is almost everything and that confidence is the rest. I tell my kids,"Courtesy and politeness will take you through life, but confidence will make you successful." I speak well to groups from 5 to 50. I taught College Anatomy and Physiology for a over a year to adults, whom are motivated to learn which was in 2002-2003 and I've come to crave that buzz, that drive to teach. It was the most intense learning experience I've ever had. Dental school offered heavy hard sciences and no substantial business training. My successes in business came from relationships with mentors and leaders as well as my own work and drive to win.
