Dan Wooster
Dan Wooster’s love of technology began in high school when his math teacher introduced him to the process of solving math and physics problems through programming a computer. It was love at first sight as he quickly realized this machine would do anything he could tell it, as long as he learned how to speak its language.
Dan loves looking for ways to build new or modify existing software systems to help meet the needs of computer users. In his spare time he enjoys racquetball, skiing, ping pong, billiards, and restoring his TR6. Recently, he spent time in China and is currently learning Chinese.
Dan has led the Computer Science department at Bob Jones University since he joined the faculty in 1981. His areas of interest include software development and computer networking. At the undergraduate level he currently teaches Computer Science II, Microprocessor Architecture, Operating Systems, Computer Science Seminar and Special Topics. In the MBA program he teaches a unique approach to E-Commerce in which he combines the best of his undergraduate computer science majors with the MBA students to design and build e-businesses in a competitive platform. Dan also heads up several computer programming teams which compete annually in the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest. (http://icpc.baylor.edu/icpc/)
In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Dan helped develop the first BJU website (including the first version of The Linked Word Project), promotional multimedia CDROM, and campus multimedia kiosk.
He also founded a software development, Internet hosting and e-commerce business - The Worthwhile Company, Inc, where he serves as Chief Technology Officer. He and his wife Karen have a daughter Sara and two sons, Joseph and Jonathan. He especially enjoys helping ministries and outreach organizations make effective use of computer and Internet technologies.
