"Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom."

Albert Einstein, 'Out of My Later Years,' 1950, U.S. (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)

"A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind."

Albert  Szent-Gyorgyi , Nobel Prize in Medicine 1937, U.S. (Hungarian-born) biochemist (1893 - 1986)

"All [Model-T] Fords are exactly alike, but no two men [nor two women] are just alike. Every new life is a new thing under the sun; there has never been anything just like it before, never will be again. Look for the single spark of individuality that makes you different from other folks, and develop that for all it is worth. Society and schools may try to iron it out of you, but I say don't let that spark be lost; it is your only real claim to importance."

 Henry Ford, U.S. automobile industrialist (1863 – 1947)

Personal History

M.S., Mathematics, Miami University (of Ohio) - 1993
Single Subject Teaching Credential (Math), California State University Long Beach - 1991
B.S., Mathematics/Computer Science, Western Illinois University -1983

Welcome to El Camino College! I have been teaching math here since 2000, but I have not always been a college professor ... After earning my bachelor's degree, I took a job with Logicon in San Pedro (now a part of Northrup Grumman). I worked as a software analyst on three different systems (the peacekeeper MX missile launch control, submarine combat control, and automated target tie-up to aircraft). The Cold War ended around 1990. While working for Logicon I continued to study mathematics, earned a single subject teaching credential from CSULB, and accepted an offer into the graduate program at Miami University (of Ohio).

After earning my master's degree in mathematics, I took a job as consultant for Cap Gemini. For six years I led a fast-paced consulting life and loved it. Compared to the slower pace working for a defense contractor, corporate consulting was ever-changing and stimulating. I was an analyst and team manager on large projects for Sprint, OfficeMax, BellAtlantic Telecommunications, Goodyear, Western Digital, Corsair Communications and others. Over the years, my work has taken me to Rhode Island, Nebraska, Ohio, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Sacramento. Traveling and promotions to greater responsibilities were fun and rewarding until I wanted to settle down in one location. That brought me back to the South Bay with its mild temperatures and ocean beauty. I love my job teaching math to the students here at El Camino College. 

At El Camino College the latest technology is prevalent in the classrooms and teaching and continued learning are paramount. 

Welcome and good luck in your studies!
