Meet Your Film Installation Instructors
Shawn Hobson | Head Installation Trainer
Shawn is the lead trainer at Energy Products Distribution. He has 35 years of experience as a film installer and over eight years as a trainer. Shawn believes that the level of training available for automotive and architectural films is unlike anything that was offered in the past.
“When I started in this field we were all basically self-taught or learned from other installers who also had figured things out on their own. The tools, instruction, and support available today makes the learning process so much more pleasant and successful.”
