What I Do:

• Provide real-life examples expressing the need to learn.
• Provide hands-on applications enforcing what students learn in lecture.
• Provide thought-provoking, challenging opportunities to help students stretch their analytical ability.

What I Like Most About My Job:

• Watching students who want to learn grow beyond their dreams.
• Preparing students, not just for a job, but rather for a promotion beyond that initial position.
• Graduates who were average students contacting me, excited about their careers.
• Industry returning for more graduates just like the ones just promoted.

What I Like Best About CAMC:

We have a core group of instructors, each with different personalities. Coming from various backgrounds and experiences, we complement each other in our ability to provide a varied, but full educational experience.

Whether it is fishing the elusive walleye, or just sitting by a campfire on shore, Rob and his wife Dianne love watching the sunset over beautiful Lake Ida.
