About Me
I am a Mechanical Engineer by trade. Specifically a Manufacturing Engineer. I have over 12 years of experience as a manufacturing engineer training people on production methods and systems. My engineering career has allowed me to have the roles of both Engineer and Educator. I enjoy the study of instruction and training methods.
Now with the help of Bethel University I am also an Education Professional and am completing my coursework to become a certified PostSecondary Teacher. My Masters Degreee gives me the qualification to teach in many areas of engineering and technology.
Along with my role as an educator, I am a computer hobbyist. I have been working with computers since the Commodore 64, so I guess that would give me over 20 years of computer experience.
My computer background does not drive me to sell products or software, I want to educate people on how to use and run their computers effecively.
My website Insidethecomputer.com deals with these technology issues.
