About
I have been working in the information technology field for over thirty years, from the early days of the Internet to leading enterprise systems and security teams. My experience combines enterprise operations and information security with hands-on expertise and strategic leadership. Much of my experience is in in higher education, encompassing many different aspects of information technology from traditional enterprise applications and offices to classrooms, research laboratories, and Internet service providers. Leading change in this overlapping landscape requires not only technological knowledge and experience but input, creativity, communication, buy-in, and patience. Over the course of my career I've worked to build both my technical and leadership skill sets to adapt to the ever-changing landscape and arrive at collaborative strategies and solutions.
