Max Underwood, a Professor I had in grad school, once said that many of us will have multiple careers in our lives. While most of the people I know have traveled a pretty straight line, I have diverged many times. From faculty at ASU and MCC, to Ironman triathlete and professional track cyclist, to magazine editor and publisher, to writer, and back full circle to teaching architecture and photography, life is never without excitement.
Faculty at Palomar College teaching history and materials classes, a freelance write and photographer, and a designer.
