Personal
Married; two children.
Statement of Interests
My formal education has been in Mathematics, specifically Numerical Analysis. It is in this area that much of my past research activity lies. At the same time my curricular responsibilities have been primarily in Computer Science and I have thus retrained to become competent in that area. Current and future interests are in Computer Science and Computer Science education at the college level. Specifically, I am interested in curricular development issues as they relate to Computer Science and textbook writing.
