All of our children graduated from Parma Western schools and received advanced college degrees. Our oldest graduated from Jackson College in the Nursing program and now resides in Greenville, NC as a Nurse Practitioner for a Cardiac Thoracic Surgeon. I’ve taught for over 30 years in the field of Advanced Manufacturing and Automation Robotics. Most recently I was a High School teacher at Northwest High School for their STEM program working directly with Technique, Inc.  At Jackson College, I plan to develop a more advanced program that incorporates High Tech, High Skill programs that lead to High Wage careers in Advanced Manufacturing, Automation and Robotics through Industry 4.0 Advancements alongside many Jackson, Hillsdale, and Lenawee county employers.
