“I’ve been here for about 14 years. I’ve only been a professor for three of those. For the other 11 years, I was a federal contractor of the Department of Homeland Security and a federal contractor to the Department of Justice. I’ve been in the field; I’ve talked to these folks. I understand what they need from students. I’ve brought that experience to the classroom so that I could share that and make these students very successful for their potential employers.”
