About

I teach programming in VB, C#, and Java to high schoolers. I love my job.

I have a BS in Math and an MS in Computer Science. I was a developer at IBM for many years.

I spend my spare time working out, reading, playing piano, working a second job as a receptionist at a local dealership, annoying my two children, and binging Netflix too much.
