David Lomax, Business and Carpentry Instructor at San Jose City College, has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Educators for dedication, achievements, and leadership in teaching construction and design.
After obtaining an Associate of Arts in construction trades, blueprints and building codes from the College of Southern Nevada in 2003, Mr. Lomax subsequently earned a Bachelor of Science in workforce education and business management from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2006. Following postgraduate coursework in occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) from San Jose City College in 2009, he obtained a Master of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix in 2011. Additionally, Mr. Lomax has pursued university coursework in construction, virtual design and construction, building information modeling and educational instructional technology.
Mr. Lomax spent many years in the construction industry, building native HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) houses in remote arctic regions throughout Alaska and remodeling residential homes and commercial buildings in multiple states, as well as in Mexico. Additionally, Mr. Lomax became active in real estate, buying, developing, designing, and reselling properties after implementing various renovations. He joined the faculty of San Jose City College in 2009, where he serves as a professor of construction technology and his courses focus on all aspects of carpentry. In addition, he developed a pioneering program in virtual design and construction (VDC) with Stanford University and also began incorporating digital design into his classes. Mr. Lomax intends to retire during the next few years, while possibly entering the consulting business.
Mr. Lomax’s riveting life story has been chronicled in “Trail of Thoughts,” which he describes as “more than a memoir; a striking reflection on overcoming adversity and finding clarity in chaos.” Raised in the merciless heart of Alaska, he was raised in remote villages where he had to help construct homes throughout desolate terrain and navigate treacherous elements, which made survival a daily battle. Yet beyond the brutal challenges posed by nature, he fought for his sense of identity, purpose, and dignity while endearing the influence of his domineering stepfather and unfamiliar native cultures. However, through these tests, he sharpened his perseverance into his greatest tool on both a mental and physical level. A riveting testament to grit, growth, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit, “Trail of Thoughts” illuminates his pursuit for meaning in a world that demanded everything from him, and can be found through both IngramSpark and Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing platform.
