Oh, and also...
I am a visiting scholar at the McIntire School of Commerce's Masters in the Management of Information Technology (MS-MIT) program at the University of Virginia. Current lectures include DevOps, Mobile in the Enterprise & IT Service Management.
With too many years than I care to admit of technology management experience, including 12 years as CIO at one of the largest franchise businesses in North America, I bring a pragmatic, industry-centric view to my classes.
My current focus is on DevOps and emerging mobile technologies. I also enjoy researching various ways to improve my own classroom efficiencies, of which I share with other teaching professionals through my YouTube Video Channel.
I also host AskACIO.com, a blog focused on enterprise computing and other professional interests.
