I began working in the computer field in 1977 and became a fulltime professor in 1999.  I worked largely in the operations area of the data processing profession.  I have some training and experience in programming.  I managed (computer rooms, operations staff, helpdesks), wrote (instructions sheets, user documentation, technical documentation), analyzed (workflow, IS processes, IS procedures) and instructed (documentation, classes).

I worked in various areas of the computer industry (government, educational, and private industry) and this has given me a good look at the real world use of computers.  I bring that real world experience to my classes.

I began teaching on a part-time basis during the summer of 1984.  I’ve taught classes in vocational schools, private industry and accredited colleges.
