Biography

It’s my passion to promote the Tech MBA programs and the MS in Applied Natural Resource Economics. I began my career in the US Air Force. First, I was an aircraft mechanic—I fixed the avionics on bombers and tankers. Other positions I held were avionics test equipment designer, radar software modeler, executive officer, operations officer, and professor. After the Air Force, I was an instructor and advisor at Finlandia University. I’m active in several community organizations; I enjoy biking, cross-country skiing, and camping; and I’m working on a PhD in Business Administration, specializing in Organizational Psychology, at Northcentral University.
