About Me

Experience Summary

With more than 25 years of professional experience and a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Kansas, I have the insight and knowledge from my experiences that will take you from the classroom into the boardroom. Focusing on examples and lessons that give you hands on experience and examples that are successful techniques for teaching the simplest concepts to the most complex developed solutions using multiple software and/or technologies. If you are just learning to do the beginning projects or want to develop a specialized project, I can teach you to be successful using today's technical applications. I have taught in corporate training sessions, university classrooms, school classrooms through public libraries' extension classes. My students range from experienced professionals, retirees, students from colleges through grade schools as well as foreign students.

Teaching Style

Too often the jargon used in the technical world and manuals leaves the beginners in a cloud of wonder. I will tell you what they mean using everyday language you can understand so it makes a clear picture in your mind's eye. In a matter of minutes you can understand the most complex projects and techniques without years of prerequisite classes or courses.

My Hobbies

My hobbies are very much a part of my life. I love flying, kayaking, sailing, riding motorcycles, camping, golfing, tennis, racquetball, pickle ball, softball, baseball and running. Just like everyone else, I have excelled in many of my interests which shows my expertise. I love flying so much that I have an FAA Private Pilot's licence for Single Engine Land Aircraft with Commercial Instrument rating. I have been a certified tennis professional for more than 30 years, certified racquetball instructor for more than 25 years. I have taught Protected Waters Sailing, Open Water Sailing, Kayaking, Canoeing and Swift Water Rescue for the American Red Cross for over 28 years. So you see, my hobbies are my true interests.

Other Comments

My teaching style is to make clear, concise examples when teaching. I prefer using your code and examples and build a clear and thoughful solution. The real value, is I tell you what each part of the code does, so you know exactly how it works. That way you pay me once to learn, and do it the rest of your life with having to come back to me...unless you need a refresher.
