What I enjoy most about working for CU Boulder

I enjoy seeing the growth and maturity of our students as they go through the curriculum and hearing about their successes after they’ve entered the workforce. 

Bio

I was born and raised in California and received an engineering degree from UCLA. I worked for many years in the computer hard drive industry. I'm married with two grown children who both graduated as Buffs. I like to golf in the summer and used to snowboard in the winter, and I love old classic cars (owner of a Porsche 356).
