Eddie Hillmann, second-year Western Dakota Tech Electrical Trades student, was selected by the national website Tool Box Buzz as Student of the Month for July 2018.
Hillmann, originally from Denver, Colo., was featured in a story and photos on the Tool Box Buzz website on Aug. 3. Hillmann is an electrician’s apprentice, interned with Freeman’s Electric Service in Rapid City, and is a six-year U.S. Air Force veteran.
“This is a well-deserved honor for Eddie. His dedication to the trade and willingness to do the job right likely made him an easy choice for the reviewers to select him Tradesman of the Month,” said Bryan Mitchell, Western Dakota Tech Electrical Trades Program Director and Instructor. “It’s great to have Eddie back this year to put a shine on an already polished young tradesman.”
As Tradesman of the Month, Hillmann received a Milwaukee Tool North America FUEL M18 Hole Hawg, a Tool Box Buzz Pro T-shirt and hat, and Tradesman of the Month stickers.
