I teach adjunct courses at Mid Michigan College in computer science and information technology. My courses focus on practical applications of automation, systems design, and engineering fundamentals.

Current & Recent Courses

Industrial Automation & Control Systems

Computer Science / IT

An overview of automated systems in manufacturing and process control. Students learn fundamental concepts in system architecture, sensor networks, and real-world applications of industrial automation.

Systems Design & Integration

Computer Science / IT

A practical exploration of designing integrated systems. Covers architectural patterns, security considerations, and best practices for building scalable, maintainable systems.

Teaching Philosophy

I bring 30+ years of real-world engineering experience into the classroom. My courses emphasize practical understanding over theoretical abstraction—students learn not just what systems do, but why they're designed the way they are.

I believe in connecting classroom concepts to actual industrial challenges, preparing students for the kinds of problems they'll encounter in professional practice.

Teaching interests: Industrial automation, systems architecture, process control, cybersecurity, and the integration of technology into real-world operations.
