I received a master's degree in 1997 at UCD, in Applied Math.
I received my Ph. D. in Applied Math in December 1999, also from UCD.
During the 1999-2000 academic year, I was a math instructor at Mendocino College, in Ukiah, California. Mendocino College serves most of Mendocino County and part of Lake County.
I then worked for 3 years as a lecturer at UCD
In 2003, I began at Cosumnes River College. I am currently working at CRC and (sometimes) various Los Rios campuses. I have worked at all 4 Los Rios Colleges (and two off-campus sites for ARC, one for Sac City, one for CRC, and one for FLC), and also at Solano Community College, Sac State, and University of the Pacific. I would love to talk to you about my experiences teaching at all those different places.
In 2015, I finished my 12-year vacation, and returned to UCD for 2 quarters.
In spring 2019, I was offered a one-semester full load at CRC. This is called a "Long-term temporary." The name doesn't make sense.
In 2024, I became a DJ at KDVS in Davis, 90.3 FM, streaming at kdvs.org. My radio name is DJ Dog Juice, and my show, Surf and More, is Fridays 6-8 AM. Tune in if you like.
In 2025, I joined a band called Antimass Dogs. We play goofy, literal, lyric-driven music with occasional creative rhymes, and simple chord patterns.
