"I love to share "Aha" moments with my students!

I have a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Houston. I taught both classes and labs while a graduate student and continued to teach Electrical Engineering at UH for 14 years after graduation. I am proud of the high scores I earned in the student evaluations that were administered by the department. While teaching in the EE Department I taught a wide range of classes but specialized in the graduate electronics sequence.

When our kids came along my wife and I home schooled them for several years and I taught science and math in a Home School partnership in my area.

I enjoy teaching. When teaching math and physics I try to relate the material to real world applications so that my students understand not just the how but the why of a subject. I do my best to make the material interesting and relevant. I have written a book on calculus, Essential Calculus with Motivational Problems, that reflects my effort to bring practical applications into my teaching.

During my career as an independent consultant I specialized in electronic circuit and system design and optimization. As a result of my varied experience I have presented and published 28 technical papers and hold 20 patents. During this time I used computers extensively, programming real world solutions using a variety of programming languages.

I look forward to helping you learn." less...
