ABOUT ME
I worked for 25 years at IBM in Endicott, NY doing engineering and programming. In 2003, I left IBM to pursue a lifetime dream of teaching. I accepted a position in the CS department at Roberts and began my second career as a Professor of Computer Science. In May of 2022, I retired from teaching.
I am married to Faith and we have two grown children - Blaine and Adrienne. Blaine lives in Oak Park, near Chicago, with our two grandchildren - Galen and Colin. Adrienne lives in Huntingdon, PA. Faith and I live near Churchville, NY, west of Rochester.
​
I think one of my greatest joys is teaching. As I have entered retirement, I continue to teach adult Bible Study at our church and have started a technology class for homeschooled students that meets each Thursday afternoon.
I also enjoy travel. We traveled a lot as a family as I was growing up. I had visited many of the states east of the Mississippi by the time I was 16. As of right now, I have visited 36 states. One of the goals on my bucket list is to visit every state.
These are places I have visited outside the USA and Canada:
-
London, Kenya, Greece, Switzerland, and Germany (1970)
-
St. Petersburg, Russia (1992)
-
Hong Kong and China (1996)
-
London and Kenya (2010)
-
London and Paris (May 2015)
