I enjoy creating precise parts, and capable people. As a machinist, I created a lot of precise parts, and as an Instructor, I get to create people capable of the same thing. Seeing students take the lessons from my classes and apply them to class projects, home hobbies, and industrial careers is immensely rewarding, and it is what drives my teaching. I strive to continuously improve my lessons and laboratories to best reflect what students will encounter in modern industry. My goal for all of my students is to ready them for careers designing, engineering, and of course, making the precise parts that keep the modern world moving.
