Personal Summary

I'm kind of a professional student, so being back at UM to work has been a great opportunity for me.  I spent a little over 10 years working in IT as a computer tech and with a company installing restaurant point-of-sale, video surveillance and liquor control.  I've been back in the department since April, 2007.  I started taking programming classes shortly thereafter and have found that I really enjoy it.  I'm very excited to be teaching some basic Python programming in our labs, as I am convinced it is a skill that everyone will need to some extent in their academic and professional careers.
