Graduated from St. Olaf College in 1964 with a Major in Mathematics and a Minor in Physics. Served in the Peace Corps as a Math teacher in Moshi, Tanzania from Sept. 1964 to April 1967. Attended Graduate school in Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin in Madison from Sept. 1967 to Aug. 1969. Worked for the United Farm Worker’s Union during their Grape Boycott in Montreal, Canada from Sept. 1969 to July 1970. Pursued a Masters Degree in Mathematics Education at the University of Minnesota in Mankato, MN from Sept. 1970 to Aug. 1971. Did substitute teaching as a Physics teacher for a year in Minneapolis and then as a Math teacher for a year in southern Iowa and then a year at the Wilson Center in Fairbault, MN. This covered the 3 year period from Sept. 1971 to Aug. 1974. I was then hired as a math tutor by Carleton College in Sept. 1974. During my first year here, me and another math tutor, hired under the same FIPSE (Funds for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education) Grant as I was, created the Math Skills Center as a walk-in tutoring lab. We ran the Lab together for the next year, until the grant ran out in the spring of 1976. In Sept. 1976, I was then hired by Carleton as supervisor of the Math Skills Center and I have been supervising the Math Skills Center ever since then up to the present. In 1989, I became a certified Aerobics Instructor and have since then added that position to my Lab supervising position.
At Carleton since 1976.
