Experience
I have over 30 years of experience, 19 in academics in a variety of science-based subjects and 11 in industry, mainly in quality control. I have a passion for helping people learn and understand science. I believe that any student given the proper environment and help will learn not just the course or research material, but be able to relate this newly acquired information to the world around them. My teaching philosophy is a simple quote attributed to Albert Einstein: “To truly understand something you must be able to explain it to your grandmother.” Current instructor at Edgewood College Madison Wisconsin during fall semester (mid August to mid December) please look me up on: www.ratemyprofessors.com
