I'm a small city kid who somehow found himself teaching engineering in the fourth biggest city in North America. I'm living a life that I never even imagined as possible when I grew up. I want to help others find their path to their happy place.
I teaching engineering design at the top engineering school in Canada. I have 1,200 students in my class. I have taught about 20,000 engineers in my career.
Right out of high school I earned a bachelors degree in Engineering Physics from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada.
As an adult I earned a Masters degree in Higher Education.
I teach brilliant students who are destine to make the world a better place. I feel that I'm a small part of each of their success.
I'm married to another engineering professor. We work in the same department. I have three wonderful sons who I'm hoping will follow in their parents footsteps.
My mom grew up with 10 siblings. She was the only one to finish high school. My grandparents had to trade chickens from the farm to pay her way through school. After graduating she went to teachers college and became a teacher. She feed my curiosity for STEM my whole life.
My dad only completed grade 6 before he had to leave school to work. Despite this he always respected education and worked so hard to make sure I had the educational opportunities he never had.
I love LEGO. It was a go to toy as a kid and I continue to play LEGO with my kids...whenever I can convince them to play with me.
