Avid Windsurfer/Kitesurfing enthusiast and recreational Environmentalist.
Oh, and also...
I am a Lecturer at Old Dominion University's Strome College of Business, and School of Cybersecurity, focusing on Enterprise Information Technology and Cybersecurity-related classes.
I am also 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 ten years as CIO at one of the largest franchise businesses in North America, I bring a pragmatic, industry-centric view to my lectures.
My current focus is on DevOps and emerging mobile technologies. I also enjoy researching ways to improve my classroom efficiencies, which I share with other teaching professionals through my YouTube Video Channel.
