My other academic interests are stochastic processes, simulation, and probability and statistics.
After attending the Engineer Officer Advanced Course in 1986, I was assigned to the 4th Engineer Battalion at Fort Carson, Colorado where I served as an Assistant Operations Officer, Battalion Adjutant, and Company Commander of Echo Company, 4th Engineers.
I started graduate school in the fall of 1989 at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I earned a Master of Science in Operations Research in 1991, and reported to the Department of Mathematical Sciences, USMA, in the fall of 1991. I taught MA103 (Discrete Dynamical Systems), MA205 (Multivariable Calculus), and MA206 (Probability and Statistics) and served as the course director for MA372 (Introduction to Discrete Mathematics) and MA476 (Mathematical Statistics). I also developed and taught an MA489 course in Graph Theory. In addition, I was a department academic counselor and an officer representative for the Army Men's Basketball Team.
I then returned to graduate school in the fall of 1994 and completed my Ph.D. at Georgia Tech in Industrial and Systems Engineering in June of 1997 under the able guidance of Professor R. Gary Parker. I reported back to the Department of Mathematical Sciences in the summer of 1997, serving as an assistant professor and the program director for MA206, as well as the course director for MA492D (Graph Theory and Networks), and instructor for MA376 (Applied Statistics). I was selected for an academy professorship and advanced to the academic rank of associate professor in January 1999.
I spent the 2000-2001 academic year attending the Industrial College of the Armed Forces at Fort McNair in Washington D.C. where I earned a Master's degree in National Resource Strategy. Since returning to the Department in the summer of 2001, I have been involved in curriculum design and reform issues for my department and the Academy. I also served again as the program director for MA206 from August 2001 until December 2002. From December 2002 to January 2004, I was the Acting Deputy Head of the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Outside of the classroom, I am an Officer Representative for the Army Men's Basketball Team and the liaison professor for the Georgia Institute of Technology.
I spent the academic year starting in the summer of 2005 on sabbatical in the Department of Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.
My outside interests include many sports (basketball, golf, tennis, softball, etc.), duplicate bridge, and the guitar.
