## About me

My background is RF communications systems and circuits. I worked in the electronics industry for 38 years for Harris Corporation designing, building, and testing advanced radio equipment.

I have experience simulating and designing RF circuits and in signal processing specifically for communication systems. I have taught as an adjunct professor for University at Buffalo, Monroe Community College and Rochester

Institute of Technology. I’m now excited to be working as a full-time lecturer in the College of Engineering Technology in the ECTET department while still working part time for Harris Corporation.

In my spare time I enjoy running, riding my bicycle and motorcycle. I have been an amateur radio operator for over 45 years.
