This site was created for my EDLD 5306 class. Welcome to my Wiki.

I've been an educator for 24 years. I came from the "real world" of work into a field I never dreamed I would encounter: "teaching". I believe that living the life of computers, networking, cabling, office support ,being an entrepreneur then teaching in the corporate world before becoming a professor has benefited me in ways my colleagues do not know or comprehend.

I have loved every minute of it and would not trade it for the world. It has been a rewarding career. Not knowing that I had been hired to teach a course, one administrator from high school asked in a Cisco dual credit meeting some years back, "What retired smuck is going to come and teach this, we will never get anyone to teach this!" Well I'm the "smuck" and still enjoying it.
