About the Instructor

Hello! My name is Arnette Person, or Mr. P for short. I come from a family with over 100 years of bricklaying experience. As a young boy, I was introduced to the masonry field by my father, grandfather, and uncles. I chose to teach masonry because I enjoy working with young men and women that want to learn about the trade. I'm excited about this upcoming year because learning in person is the best way to learn (Especially Masonry).
