Our Founder, Your Guide
Hi, I’m Stephen Gates, founder of myPLCtraining.com. I created myPLCtraining.com to help electricians and technicians gain the skills and confidence needed to succeed as PLC programmers in today’s automation-driven world.
I earned my B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering in 2011 and spent nearly a decade designing and programming PLC-based control systems for switchgear, generators and substations. In 2019, I became a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.), deepening my technical expertise.
Today, I’m fully focused on training the next generation of automation professionals - sharing real-world knowledge to help others build stable, rewarding careers in industrial automation.
