More about me...

I was born in rural North Dakota and grew up on a wheat farm. My mom was a teacher and my dad worked as a mechanic and as a farmer. We grew durum wheat, the kind used to make pasta, and a little barley for feeding to the cows. I spent most of my time playing baseball and basketball, but I got a little studying in, too.

Education has always been very important to our family. After graduating 6th in my class (out of 44) at Tioga High School, I attended the University of North Dakota where I earned a bachelors and masters degree in Computer Science. The main reason I ended up getting a masters degree was because they said I could teach while I was going to school. I've always loved teaching, especially students who are just starting and aren't quite sure if they can do it. 

After I graduated from UND, I took a teaching position at Stetson University in DeLand Florida. Quite a change from North Dakota, I don't think being 25 miles from Daytona Beach was too good for the student's study habits! After several fun years of teaching, I came to UT to get my doctorate in Computer Science Education and to find a really great place to live. Since I finished, I've taught some, worked at a small start-up company, and done some computer consulting work.

Austin is a great town with something for everyone. When I'm not working, I like to golf, play volleyball (or most any sport), play guitar, dance, and sleep.
