- After about 12 years as an engineer, I transitioned into education and joined Austin Community College as an electronics professor.
- I spent 24 years as an electronics professor and then became the department chair for manufacturing technology.
- After three years as the manufacturing technology department chair, I moved up to my current role as associate dean of advanced manufacturing programs.
