He earned a Bachelor of Science in mathematics at Geneva College in 1962, and worked as a high school mathematics teacher until 1964, when a school trip to a steel factory inspired him to pursue a career in the then-nascent field of assembly languages.

He retired from the IT field in 2003 after holding roles as a systems administrator for Thrift Drug and UNIX systems administrator for UPMC Health. Since 2006, Mr. Sherin has worked part-time as an instructor for the University of Pittsburgh, where he teaches a variety of undergraduate mathematics, engineering, and networking courses. Outside his work in IT, Mr. Sherin was active as a volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America for more than 35 years, and looks forward to continuing his community involvement and service to others.
