Hey Everyone. I'm a High School Cyber Security and Mechatronics Teacher.... After 25 years at Xilinx I decided to do something different... Crazy Right? But it's an opportunity I just could not pass up. I have always loved teaching, and teaching High School has always been noodling around in my mind. The time was right. I have started a new class on Cyber Security. I told my principle "I don't really know that much about Cyber Security", but she said "you will do fine" HA HA. This next year I get to start a Mechatronics program... That is more my style, so it's going to be a busy rest of the year, and probably for the next 2-3 summers too... But Hey, I get to teach bright young minds how to build FIRE Breathing Robots...
