I am a second career educator. 我的本科学位是数学(优等)和电气工程. 我的职业生涯始于开发信号处理微码的电气工程师，并在20世纪80年代中期因开发100 MHz处理器而得到认可, ground breaking work for the time. 我在私营部门的最后一个职位是项目经理，负责指导基于网络的软件的开发. 在IBM等公司的私营部门工作了近20年之后, Microsoft, and CompuServe, 我在1998年转到公共部门，目的是改善K-12数学的学习和教学，为城市环境中服务不足的学生提供帮助. I was a teacher, consultant, 并领导教育场所包括:一所城市高中, a state department of education, a non-profit organization, and now at Old Dominion University. Highlights of my public sector experiences include: a) practiced as a high school (grades 9-12) mathematics teacher and department chair; b) developed PreK-12 mathematics standards as a state department of education administrator; c) managed and supported a large geographic region of mathematics coaches; d) developed and supported (grades PreK-8) mathematics specialists; and d) co-designed and implemented (PreK-8) Mathematics Specialist Programs in OH and VA.
