Teaching & Learning: ScienceAn Introduction to me!

My Avatar(I’m dressed like Indiana Jones. Yes!)

Here I am talking to myself again. My headset didn’t work at first, but the video directions helped

me get it going.

First I got my bearings at the Orientation Center and then I visited

the Dean at his office. Finally, seeking adventure, I discovered an ancient

Tahitian sleeping hut!

A little about me personally:My lovely wife and me. We had a new addition in 2012!

OurSmall Dog.

I got married on June 25, 2011.

One of my favorite things to do is go camping with college buddies.

I graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering for the University at Buffalo in 2004.

My Previous Professional Life

After college I spent 8 years laboring over blueprints and writing contracts. It was not a very fulfilling career, so I decided to make a change!

I left my job (mostly) and became a stay at home dad.

Now I watch my son Tommy by day and do a little consulting (and homework) by night.

I’m looking forward to meeting all of you!
