About Me
I teach computer science at Penn State Erie, the Behrend College, and I also have a graduate degree in math. I've studied French, German, and Spanish, in that order. Also, I study classical piano. Somehow the math, languages and piano all have their own web.
This visual web, available online, is a marvelous product of the science of computing.
