About Me

I am the Associate Director and a Professor of Practice in Clemson's School of Computing. I joined Clemson in 2020 after working in the software industry for thirty years. I came to Clemson to start a new chapter in my career where I can leverage my experience to teach and mentor the next generation of computer scientists. I not only aim to teach my students the building blocks of computer science, but I also seek to instill an appreciation for the importance of communicating ideas, problem-solving, teamwork, and decision-making, regardless of the path they choose to pursue after their undergraduate studies. I aspire for my students to be excited about learning computer science and to guide them in understanding the many opportunities it opens up for them in their future. And, last, but not least, I hope to show them that computer science can be fun too!
