After graduating from Southeast with my degree in Computer Science, I joined the US Air Force and spent the next eight years in Colorado, Texas and Missouri supporting Space Command and the Military Airlift Command. For the last 30 years, I've worked in Higher Education starting at the University of Illinois and then moving to Iowa State University, Washburn University and now here at Southeast Missouri State University. It is very nice to be back supporting Southeast where my academic career began. If you ever make it over to the campus Aquatic Center, you may see me doing some lab swimming.
