My Education

I have an AAS Degree from Northland Community and Technical College in Computer Service Networking and a BS in Career and Technical Education from Bemidji State University. I also have eight (8) computer administration, engineering and NCATT certifications.

My Professional Experience

I have been working with computers and in the industry since 1972. I have my own computer consulting business which focuses on networking and training. I have been teaching in the Computer and Networking department at Northland Community and Technical College since 2000 and in the Sales & Marketing department since 2015 teaching web design, social and digital marketing.

In addition to teaching at Northland Community and Technical College, I also teach Adult Education classes at local High Schools. I am also published and speak regularly to local and national audiences on educating and training individuals with Asperger Syndrome (high functioning Autism). Recent publications and lectures have focused on the use of social and digital media in the classroom
