Experience Summary
I was born to be an engineer & teacher. I love math, science & computer programming. I love sharing knowledge.
I worked for 30 years as an engineering executive at Hewlett-Packard.
While at HP, I got my MBA at Babson College. I designed & operated a very successful factory which grew to 100 employees with sales of $100 million.
Employee development & mentoring were top priorities.
Now retired from HP, I focus my creative energies on investing & computer programming & web master skills. I publish an investing blog for friends at http://bit.ly/mxN7Ox.
I recently did presentations for 75 8th grade science students on optical networking with rave reviews from the students. My talk was inspirational & changed lives.
Teaching Style
My gift is my teaching ability. My family, friends, and associates all tell me so.
My style is marked by patience. I strive to stimulate in students the joy that comes from discovery.
I put a human face on the subject matter by introducing students to the giants in the field.
You can sample this approach by viewing the blog I published for my science talk to 8th graders at: http://bit.ly/iAVaEB.
“If I have seen further, it is from standing on the shoulders of giants.” Isaac Newton
This worked for Newton and it sure works for me.
It can work for your student too.
