But with Romanian-native Anatol Bologan, few things are as they seem.
Bologan is the senior IT technician for the communication, visual and performing arts department in addition to the math and science department, a job of increasing importance in recent years.
"More industries are moving from a traditional medium to a computer platform," Bologan said.
This shift has increased Bologan's workload to include an increased number of computers and different softwares on both Macs and Windows.
Bologan is familiar with everything from the basic Microsoft Office to very specialized photography software for high-end printing.
He is responsible for supporting graphic designers and maintaining color calibration, font collections and web-based software. He also trouble shoots.
"I have to know enough to provide support for all of these softwares," Bologan said.
Bologan has spent almost four years at Cosumnes River College. Before maintaining the CVPA department and the math and science department, he worked in the business and computer science departments.
Before his career at CRC, Bologan spent approximately 11 years learning about computers and participating in the field.
Originally from a fine arts background, he gravitated towards computers upon realizing that they could be a "tool" in the expression of creativity.
"[Computers] are built to facilitate our creativity," said Bologan. "So it's important to not feel the barrier of communication."
Bologan received his Master's degree from Bucharest Academy of Arts.
Upon moving to the United States, Bologan took one and a half years worth of computer classes at CRC's sister college, American River College.
Bologan has worked for advertising companies using Intel, Microsoft, HP and Apple technology in the United States.
