Kevin Clinton
Kevin Clinton brings more than 30 years of experience in the heavy truck and diesel industry into the lab at CSI. After completing a Diesel Technology program in Elko, Nevada, he built his career working in parts, service, dispatch, and warranty roles before joining CSI in 2023.
Now a full-time lab assistant, Kevin works closely with students as they build hands-on skills in the Diesel and Truck Mechanics program. One of the projects students are currently working on is a full engine teardown, taking a diesel engine down to the block and rebuilding it piece by piece.
CSI’s Diesel Technology program gives students experience in everything from engines and electrical systems to hydraulics, brakes, and drivetrains, along with real-world training through industry partnerships.
Kevin enjoys the energy each new group of students brings and values building one-on-one connections with them. He’s there to support students in the lab and beyond, sharing real industry knowledge to help them succeed.
Outside of CSI, you’ll find Kevin racing motocross with his son or horseback riding and training with his daughters. Most students are surprised to learn he still actively races.
His advice to students: have an open mind and pay attention to detail.
