Christian Tetzlaff teaches at a technical college because he wants to give people the skills that helped save his father’s life. Tetzlaff, Lanier Technical College’s motorsports vehicle technology program director, was one of several award recipients honored at a Lanier Tech awards luncheon Wednesday in Gainesville. “The work that we do changes lives, and not just the lives of our students, but of their children and their children’s children not even born yet,” said Ray Perren, Lanier Tech president.
