About

I'm a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science. I did my undergraduate work at Purdue and Illinois and my graduate work at MIT, Stanford, and Texas.

Both of my parents were born and raised in Granada, Nicaragua. I was born in New York City in 1952 and grew up in Miami. My wife was born and raised in Managua, Nicaragua. She did her undergraduate work at Tufts and her graduate work at Salamanca and Texas, and now works at the Vaughn Gross Center for Reading and Language Arts.
