My undergraduate degree is a BA in English from Grand Valley State University, and I have two graduate degrees: a MA in English from GVSU and a MS in Management from Cornerstone University. I have been teaching at GRCC since 2008. My academic passions include professional/technical writing, literature, and computer applications, and I've been working in business and industry for 30 years in operations, supply chain management, and engineering. I've been married to my wife, Lisa, for 20 years, and we enjoy spending time with our families, our dogs, and outdoor activities, especially fishing.
