I have been a professor and the Chair of the Electronic and Computer Technology program at Oakton since 2002. During my time at Oakton, I have taught classes in Engineering, Electronics, and Computer Technology, and I have recently started a new program in RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Technology). Before that I was a professor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Parkland College in Champaign, IL for 12 years, and I have also consulted as an engineer for many Fortune 500 companies. I hold a bachelor's degree in electronic engineering technology from Oregon Institute of Technology, and a master's degree in electrical and computer engineering from Oregon State University. In addition, I have done post-graduate work in University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I enjoy most sports, and enjoy doing outdoor activities in my spare time.
