I am a licensed and registered Professional Engineer in the states of New York and Virginia and I also hold a Private Pilot’s License with a Single Engine Land and Sea Rating. I have over 40 years of teaching experience: I was on the faculty of New York Medical College as an Instructor in Pathology, 1965-1969; a graduate teaching assistant under a United States Public Health Service Special Research Fellowship at Case Western Reserve University, 1969-1973; on the faculty in the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Virginia Tech, and Director of the Biomedical Engineering Program from 1973 to 2001; and have just been appointed a Visiting Adjunct Professor of Music at Queens University (Charlotte, North Carolina). My wife, Judi, and I have been teaching the music program at Blacksburg New School (where our now grown daughters attended elementary school) for three years.
