The Beavercreek Engineering Workshop in Ferguson Hall

Welcome to the Workshop! This is my third year teaching Project Lead the Way classes for Greene County Career Center in Beavercreek. As a retired Naval Officer, this is a second career for me (check out more in my bio). I could not be happier to be in the classroom - I truly enjoy going to work each and every day. PLTW classes are an AWESOME way to spend my day.

My goal is to help students develop a lifelong passion for learning and exploring - whether or not Engineering turns out to be a good fit for them. We learn by doing, and that is the focus of each of my classes. This is hands-on, project-based learning that gives us experience - not just knowledge - that prepares us for future careers in Engineering or Engineering Technology. 

Our workshop has a variety of tools for prototyping and building, and any student who is currently enrolled in our program can be trained to use them for projects (even non-class projects occasionally). We focus on safety and procedures, encouraging students to consider "what" is the proper tool for the job.
