OUR STAFF
STEVE DRANGUS
has been a gaphic designer for at least 51 years. He began his career in graphic design designing posters for The Zoo.
It was there, on his internship, that he discovered his passion for design. After a close encounter,
he moved away from the animals and into the city. The city nutured his growth for more than 29 years until it became so large
the doctors had to surgically remove it. The only doctor that could do such a thing was in Reno, and while recovering,
he began teaching at TMCC. He fell in love and the rest is history. Steve is happy to call TMCC his home.
MITCH
has been in graphic arts for more than a few years. He has helped with animation and special effects in
Ohmaha, Nebraska and succeeded in promoting many successful businesses that are still around today. Reno began calling his
name when he was arrested for illegal gambling. Here it is legal, "and anywhere I can gamble in peace, I call home." He started
teaching as a way to pay his debts, and while he has yet to break even, we welcome him with a kind heart and his skills
in the graphic arts. Thank you Mitch.
MINDY LORGNIS
is perhaps the most successful teacher on staff. She has helped students so many times, and she is only 64. If you
can begin to fathom how much more students she will help in her time at TMCC, you will be stuck counting for a long time, because
it will be a lot. She is so successful that she won best teacher of the year award in the 89512 area code for northern nevada. she
cant wait to help you, and we hope she does because it will be another student helped, and another tally on her list of
all the students she has helped.
TERESEA TEER
was, and still is, teased for her awkward last name. "Why are you crying so much?" "Are you sad because your
last name is Teer?" "Is your face always wet?" These are some of the many things students and faculty say about Teresea.
Despite the relentless teasing, she is tough and rarely cries. Some of the best teaching comes from her class room, and
its not about tear production, its actually about graphic design. She has a high standard of work and the students
know this. It is what makes her students stand out from the rest of the pack. Teresea is a great teacher.
RICHARD BOLENBAKER
is a 4 time award winner in graphic design. His teachings are some of the best. Its not everyday you get the
oppurtunity to meet someone who has won this many awards, so it is suggested that you take one of his many classes in
design principles in designing. It is one of his many passions, along with old cars, old coins, and raw meat. Richard's
iron levels are off the charts, but in a good way. He has ingested two whole Mercedes 2015 300 SLKs in the past 3 years. He
does not know the word fiber, only carseat stuffing. Richard Bolenbaker.
HEATHER WRUNG
came into this world knowing what she wanted to do, but it wasnt until she was 59 that she chose to do it.
She got her teaching certificate as well as her degree in the graphic arts and got a job at TMCC. She is now close
to retirment after teaching for 6 years, but she may have to wait another year due to uncertainty in the economy and
her husbands rare illness. Plaguing public outings, and ravaging friends' houses, this man's colon
knows no manners. Like mud in a snowstorm. Turning wine into water. Her husband is reverse Jesus Christ.
