My name is Paul Burkholder. I am a full time instructor at Rhodes State College in Lima, Ohio. I have been an instructor for 16 years teaching a wide variety of curriculum. I mainly teach Linux, Ethical Hacking, Cisco, and Robotics. I have also taught programming classes as well as Microsoft Server 2008 and 2012. Linux and Ethical Hacking are by far my favorites to teach. I am very passionate about it. I also like to get into the Raspberry Pi and use it as a learning platform for both Robotics and Linux.
