2025 Nation's Top Tech
2025 Nation’s Top Tech Winner Crowned
September 24, 2025 · PSA Convention · Las Vegas, NV
Congratulations to the Nation’s Top Tech: Joseph Seeley
Thirteen service technicians from across the United States competed in the 2025 John Stanton Nation’s Top Tech contest at the PSA Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. The simulated service call involved diagnosing an LG top‑load washer that would not spin. Technicians were assessed on their ability to complete a service call with professionalism and accuracy.
Judges evaluated customer‑relations skills, safe and proper use of tools and test equipment, reading of technical documentation and schematics, understanding of diagnostic modes, total time to complete the call, and performance on a general appliance‑knowledge quiz.
