Vaughn C. Nystrom
Boss of this class
I'm a father of 5 children, grandfather of six, and a husband (still deeply in love with my college sweetheart). I have degrees in Marketing and History, and a Masters in Economics. My work over the years covers a broad range of experience, including musician, Peace Corps volunteer, teacher, business executive, business owner, and consultant (organizational, systems, web, and sales).

I've been teaching as an adjunct here at Queensborough Community College for 14 years, and have enjoyed every minute of it! My wife, Annette, and I have a small business that does accounting and legal work for the courts. We've been working at it for 17 years.
Over the years here at QCC, students have told me that they've enjoyed listening to my stories in the working world. Hopefully you, too, will listen to and benefit from my experience, and perhaps even apply some of my "million dollar ideas" [to be explained]!
Personally, I love reading, learning, camping, and all things "tech." I enjoy programming (especially for the web) and just about every gadget that comes down the pike. Virtually all topics interest me. Just looking at the past few years of books I've read, I see works about Buddhism, psychology, economics, history, business, philosophy, politics, and sociology (to name a few). One of my mottoes is "ABL" - "Always Be Learning!"
