Howard Francis

Howard is currently an Associate Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Pikeville in Pikeville, KY, where he has taught for almost two dozen years. He is also the program coordinator for computer science. His primary duties include teaching the schools CS0 Intro to CS, and two semester sequence of CS1. He also leads the senior project class, which is what leads him to FOSS. In addition to the CS classes, he teaches a wide variety of freshman and sophomore math classes.

In his spare time (someone needs to remind me what the term "spare time" means!) he is a somewhat active musician. He plays trumpet in the university's pep and concert bands, and in local summer community band, which he co-founded in 2010. He is also the organist and cantor at his church.
