In his own words:
I started my career as an assistant professor in the Engineering Department at Robert Morris University. While working there, I was promoted to Associate professor and received tenure. I was also the Director of the School of Engineering, Mathematics and Science Research and Outreach Center (SEMS-ROC). In June of 2018, I decided to work in real estate as an Asset Manager for JoCo Partners. I was in charge of over 65 employees and managing over $180MM in assets.
In February of 2019, I was accepted as a visiting professor in the University of Pittsburgh's Department of Mechanical Engineering and accepted a full-time NTS position beginning in the 2019-20 academic year.
MCSI provided many academic and professional experiences that assisted me in my maturation throughout the years. The first was a superior education and opportunity to study one of the most important topics of our generation, Sustainability.
My research and career path led me toward renewable energy and could not have accomplished what I have without the training and opportunities that MCSI provided. As a professor, MCSI supported my research and students through a seed grant and sustainable-related competitions.
As a professional, my favorite conference was and still is the Engineering Sustainability Conference that MCSI organizes on a biannual basis. I am truly grateful for all the education, experiences and assistance throughout my career. MCSI has changed my life and I hope to continue to change lives for the better.
