Auburn Hills,MI

Summary

Linked in profile: www.linkedin.com/in/randygoebel


Well adapted to educational environment after having +130 credit hours of community college education, plus almost another 60 credit hours to complete undergraduate program, then add to that another almost 40 credit hours towards Master's degree. Additionally 9 extra credit hours of computer forensics education, to almost 240 credit hours of education.

This education encompasses all aspects of technology, from business, to architecture, to programming, to system analyst and more.

Combining the educational background here and the diversity of job experience, it's fair to note my ability to adapt to most any environment and thus be able to teach most any curriculum.
