I enjoy teaching an interrelated series of topics that combine current industrial methodologies with the basics from academic study that form the foundations for commercial practice. The WPI classes give me an opportunity to share, mentor and steward students through simulated and practical problems, guiding them to plausible and realistic solutions.

My research interests include; product, process and system design, with the integration of; innovation, development, selling and customer support. I am a consultant to high tech industries addressing both technology insertion and business management disciplines. I have been a product developer, manager and consultant for more than 35 years in major companies in Massachusetts and California.
