Biography
“Make it work.” That is the motto in Engineering Technology. I want students to have a solid grounding in theory and then apply that theory to something useful. Once they have built or programmed a device they should feel a sense of accomplishment, immediately followed by thinking how can I make it better.
I have taught over 30 different lecture and laboratory courses at Alfred State, but my primary area of interest is in power engineering. Along that line, I enjoy learning with students in classes addressing sustainable energy, electrical machines, power electronics and electrical power transmission.
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering. Studies there emphasized electric utility engineering. General Engineering from Idaho State University is my Bachelor of Science degree. This gave a background of not only electrical but mechanical and civil engineering necessary for considering all facets of sustainable solutions.
My first sustainable energy laboratory is my home powered by a wind turbine and photovoltaics. On campus, electrical engineering technology laboratories have these technologies available for experimentation.
I am a licensed, registered Professional Engineer (Power Engineering) in the State of New York. Prior to Alfred State, I worked in broadcast communications and hold a General Radiotelephone License from the Federal Communications Commission.
