I knew in high school that I wanted a career as a Math teacher. Once I started teaching, I thought that I might eventually retire and then teach part time at the college level. I was partially correct. From 1969-1972, I was a Math teacher at Clifton Park Junior High School. I also taught GED classes in their adult community evening school. From 1972-1978, I taught high school Math and coached three interscholastic sports, football, basketball and baseball at Mervo-Tech High School. During this same time period, I also taught Math in Project Upward Bound at Morgan State College. From 1978-1982, I was a Math Department Head at Herring Run Junior High School with a fourteen member department. In 1981, I had a conversation with one of my graduate school professors. He asked me about my future career plans after learning of my involvement with computers. He suggested that I apply at the college level as a computer instructor. He said the need was great. I sent 11 resumes to local colleges and had 10 offers to teach part time. I taught at three over the next two semesters, Villa Julie College, Harford Community College and Dundalk Community College. Dundalk was looking for a faculty member to develop and teach a new program at the college in Data Processing. They encouraged me to apply. I was selected over several other candidates. From 1982-2002, I was the first full time faculty member and Program Director for Data Processing, later to be known as Computer Information Systems at the college. During my tenure at DCC and later CCBC-Dundalk, I taught standard lecture courses, seminar courses, tele-courses, lab courses and off campus field project courses. I also maintained a steady list of independent study students taking courses tailored to their unique needs and experiences. From 1997-2002, I was an adjunct faculty member at Towson University in the Computer Science Department. I retired in 2002 after 33 years of teaching.
