Brief Biography:
After graduating from Villanova University, I began
teaching part-time at Burlington County College, Camden County College, and
Cumberland County College, all community colleges in southern New Jersey. I arrived in California in the
summer of 1995 where I began teaching at Porterville College and I have
remained there ever since. My main responsibility at PC is to teach the calculus sequence, differential
equations, and pre-calculus. When not at the college,
I enjoy riding my Harley-Davidson (1993 Softail Nostalgia); trips to
the shore with my family; watching episodes
of Law &
Order, House, and of course CSI: Miami; shopping at
malls and book stores; reading; and weight training.
