Training

St. Mary's Assumption Catholic Church, Constance and Josephine Streets in the Irish Channel

Teaching is my first and foremost passion.  If I ever win the lottery, I'm going back to teaching high school.  Seriously.  I remember when the guy at the University of New Orleans' Personal Computing Learning Center called, asking if I'd be interested in teaching there.  I said yes immediately.  He said "but you haven't heard what the hourly rate is yet!"  I replied "It doesn't matter, it's got to be better pay than when I was a high school teacher."  :-) 

After leaving the high school classroom, I taught for Our Lady of Holy Cross College, then the University of New Orleans.  I took a bit of a hiatus from teaching to take on a couple of extended-length contracts, then got back to doing applications training (MS Office, Windows, NT Server, SQL Server) for ComputerLand of New Orleans.  Another hiatus ensued, and now I'm teaching for the Institute for Software Advancement.  They're located in Framingham, MA, and they do classes in UNIX and NT all over the country.

While ISA gets my priority in terms of scheduling, I love to teach, and usually jump at the chance to do classes.  I teach in the following subject areas:
