Bio
I am a new faculty member at St. Lawrence as of Fall 2009, joining professors Ed Harcourt and Rich Sharp in the computer science program, along with the others in the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics. I am a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin (2009) in Madison, WI and a less recent graduate of Dartmouth College (2003) in Hanover, NH.

Why Computer Science?
Computer science will surely be one of the most relevant fields of the 21st century. It has the potential to help solve many important problems. It is both challenging and rewarding, and it requires both technical precision and creative design. Students who study computer science will be prepared for a range of fulfilling careers that contribute to today's society. I hope to introduce many students to the challenges and rewards that computer science has to offer, and to prepare those who enjoy them to tackle the important problems of the future.

Careers in Computer Science
The Association for Computing Machinery has a great site on CS careers here. The University of Washington has also put together a great site here. Recently I was recommended this site for internships in computer security. Finally, I've started compiling some profiles of computer scientists here.
