I am currently the Network Manager for the City of Bethlehem and manage the City’s day-to-day and long-term network and technology needs.

I was enrolled in the CAD program at Bethlehem Vo-tech and graduated in 1994.  My goal in high school was to pursue engineering after graduation.  I enrolled at NCC in the engineering program, really disliked it, and changed my major to CAD.  Over time, I became more involved with different aspects of computers and “fell” into repairing and maintaining them.  I have been at the City for ten years and just graduated from PSU with a degree in Information Science and Technology.

I believe that BAVTS introduced me to the computer and technology field, which I never would have had the opportunity to do (at that time), without BAVTS.  Vo-Tech gave me the start in the technology field that I never would have had if I had stayed solely at my home school.
