Thanks for visiting my website. I hope it was informative, and you were able to get the information you wanted.

I started my academic career at Colorado State University in 1976. In 1980, I joined the faculty of San Diego State University as associate professor of civil engineering and three years later was promoted to professor.

My wife Jane and I have raised two wonderful children: Miguel (Mig) and Christina (Tina). Jane is senior clerical assistant in the office of the President, San Diego Mesa College. Mig is a customer service leader at keepmedia.com in Foster City, California. Tina is a civil engineer with Camp, Dresser, and McKee, Inc., in Woodland Hills, California.

Many thanks to all of you who have inspired me to be productive on the web.
