About
Ralph is a 25 year veteran with industry experience in telecommunications network engineering, leadership and management, software application design and development, and instructional roles. Some of his clients include the United States Department of Agriculture, the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, and currently AT&T Telecommunications. He is sought out for his planning, organizing, and creative problem solving aptitude often serving on performance improvement teams. He applies systems analysis proficiency to break complex concepts into easily digested components using his unique demeanor and zest for life to ensure his audience gains a complete understanding. Employing his speaking and teaching talent, he’s developed, organized, and led popular team building exercises – the latest being the summer seminar for incoming clients to the IEM program at the University of Alabama in Birmingham.
Ralph shares his life with his wife and childhood sweetheart, Elizabeth and their three precious gifts, Benjamin, David, and Mary. He is grateful to assist in the children’s homeschool education and enjoy them as they blossom into fine young adults.
To give back to the community, Ralph previously employed his skills teaching natural family planning classes and now holds an officer position in his church’s men’s group devoted to charity, mentorship, and patriotism. In his scarce spare time, he enjoys sailing and banging together projects in the garage.
The focus of Ralph’s latest project is to take his engineering disciplines, his public speaking, his teaching, and his vibrant personality and apply them to home school math and logic. As no small follow up, he intends to lead a return to teaching critical thinking skills as a foundation for our educational system.
