I am returning to the school and the program where I have spent more than 20 years of my professional career. My goal is to offer the best possible advanced manufacturing and engineering training to both secondary and post-secondary students throughout southern Vermont and New Hampshire. We are in the process of updating our advanced manufacturing lab and we will be offering continuing education classes through Vermont Technical College beginning as early as August 2019.

Few fields of study offer graduates a wider range of opportunities than mechanical engineering technology. Mechanical engineering technicians provide an indispensable link between the professional engineer involved with research, design, and development, and the skilled craftsperson who manufactures and assembles the high-technology devices that enable people, companies, and nations to function every day. Our students learn how to communicate across the industry, produce sketches and… Show more Few fields of study offer graduates a wider range of opportunities than mechanical engineering technology. Mechanical engineering technicians provide an indispensable link between the professional engineer involved with research, design, and development, and the skilled craftsperson who manufactures and assembles the high-technology devices that enable people, companies, and nations to function every day. Our students learn how to communicate across the industry, produce sketches and drawings used in the manufacture of machines, analyze forces imposed upon mechanical objects, determine appropriate sizes and materials for mechanical parts and test finished assemblies for proper design. You'll graduate able to calculate the energy requirements of machines and analyze the fluid systems that control them. You'll be able to manage the problem of heat in mechanical appliances; and to control mechanisms by the use of electricity and electronics. Show less

Teaching Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) and Digital Electronics as part of the two-year, Project Lead the Way Pre- Engineering curriculum.

The Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering at the University of San Diego was recently ranked 14th in the United States among undergraduate engineering programs. As Mechanical Engineering Lab Manager, I am responsible for managing seven different mechanical engineering labs that include a full capacity, manual and CNC machine shop; a woodworking shop. a sheet-metal and welding fabrication shop; heat transfer and thermal dynamics; robotics and systems control. I am also responsible for teaching… Show more The Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering at the University of San Diego was recently ranked 14th in the United States among undergraduate engineering programs.
