宾夕法尼亚州新肯辛顿. – Frank Santimauro has been a familiar faculty member at 免费mg不朽情缘试玩新肯辛顿分校 22年来. 多年来, the lecturer of business and economics has taught classes on finance, 市场营销, 管理, 统计资料及更多.
He earned a bachelor of science in 管理 with an accounting and economics minor from Indiana University of 宾西法尼亚, followed by his master of business administration from Duquesne University. 在成为教育者之前, he honed his business skill set as owner of CAR-1, a small Pittsburgh-based business providing sales and service to the automotive industry. He then spent two years as a business consultant with the Small Business Development Center at Duquesne University and also to small- and medium-sized companies in southwestern 宾西法尼亚. Although spending most of his teaching career at the 新肯辛顿 campus, he also served as an adjunct faculty for Community College of Allegheny County, Robert Morris University and Duquesne University.
Even with business being an interest for many years, it was Santimauro’s enjoyment of art that became one of his first lifelong passions.
His specific interest in photography started when he was in cub scouts. 从那时起, Santimauro has spent his free time capturing beautiful moments as a hobby and for personal enrichment and he’s known to always carry a camera with him.
“Sometimes, I will take two or three cameras with me on an excursion,” he explained. “But I usually have a small camera to just grab and shoot.”
Santimauro announced his intended retirement from teaching at the end of the current semester, which will give him even more time to focus on his art. While he was considering the career change, 他的妻子, 玫琳凯, 说, “也许我们可以回到摄影.”
That suggestion motivated them to create an art studio and darkroom in their home.
