Hello everyone! I’m excited to be part of the SAS Advanced Programming community. I love working for SAS because every day is a new challenge and opportunity to learn more and teach others. I’ve been with SAS for 21 years and teach all the SAS Programming classes, the SAS Enterprise Guide classes, some of our SAS Statistics classes and a few of the SAS Business Intelligence classes. While I spend most of my time teaching classes, I have also developed and maintain applications for the Education Division at SAS. For those applications I use a lot of SAS Macro Language.
Before SAS I taught science, math and computer programming at several colleges in Chicago and Washington, DC. I spent several years at the University of Illinois School of Public Health, working on research on radiation carcinogenesis. I started out as an astronomer studying astrophysics and general relativity in graduate school.
When I’m not doing SAS, I like to read mysteries and political science books and articles. I love cats, baseball, and ice cream (not necessarily at the same time). I have two cats, Dharma and Chauncey, who sometimes like to help when I’m teaching.
I’m looking forward to talking with you and exchanging ideas about how to make your SAS Programs work the way you want them to.
