My 40+ years of experience in the computer-related disciplines, coupled with a PhD in education, allows me to gain insight into both the educational and occupational needs of the students. I utilize my expertise to develop and mentor courses which lead the students through the required elements of the network and Internetwork arenas.

My avocations typically involve anything that is Harley Davidson including trips to Sturgis and riding every time I get the chance. In addition, I build my own street rods and muscle cars and have competed at the national level in car and boat shows. I have also built several white water boats and raced flat bottom drag boats in my distant past. I enjoy home renovation and have just completed a remodel of our home.

My passions include my wife, Anita, my dog, Snickers, my family, and my life as an educator. My background includes service with the U.S. Navy, three tours in Vietnam, and many hours of flight as an aircrewman. I have traveled extensively and have a sense for the global nature of our discipline. I have researched and written on the subject of women in the technology trades and find great satisfaction in acquiring knowledge which assists our students in attaining their educational goals.
