"I studied Engineering and Computer Science at UCLA, then worked full-time for Citibank as a Programmer and Designer for over 25 years before becoming an independent contractor.

At my job I taught programming classes and mentored new employees. I traveled to several countries to install software and train users, so I have worked with a variety of cultures and personalities.

I am patient and strive to see the world from the viewpoint of the student, and I never talk down to anyone.

I am dedicated to my students and I am there for them when they need me.

I prepare for lessons by looking over the chapter or assignment, sometimes working problems or writing code myself so I can teach and advise in the most helpful and efficient way.

I can be light and silly when appropriate, because learning these subjects should be creative and fun!

I am married and live in West Los Angeles with my wife and our Australian Labradoodle.

I will do my very best to help you succeed with your studies and meet your goals!" less...
