Craig Kenneth Kaercher

Programmer And Teacher For Over 35 Years

Hello! My name is Craig Kaercher and I have been a programmer since 1985. My work has mostly been done on IBM mainframes using COBOL, DB2, JCL, CICS, VSAM, Easytrieve, and various other software utilities. Along the way I have worked in Oracle and SQL Server. I have worked in Java, JavaScript, HTML, C#, and various other languages. Around 2000 I earned my Masters and began teaching at colleges local to me, which is Detroit, MI. I have taught at four different colleges. The classes I have taught are Java I/II, C++ I/II, C# I/II, Visual Basic I/II, SQL, Access I/II, Word I/II, Excel I/II, PowerPoint, Database Theory and Administration, and Python. I love to program and I love to teach.

Outside of teaching I am married and have three daughters. I used to play a lot of sports but liked softball, basketball, and ice hockey best. Ever since I saw my first Bruce Lee movie I have been a martial arts fan and practitioner, although I have never really been able to devote myself to it as I would like. If I had the chance, I would take up judo or BJJ.

That's pretty much all about me. I take pride in my classes. My students learn everything they should plus more. I sincerely hope you join and enjoy one. Thank You.

Craig

Qualifies for five star but fall short because the tutorial lacks practice exercises to reinforce the principles learned. A lot was passed down though. Good Job!
