About

I have worked in the Information Technology field for over 25 years prior to joining Moorpark College as a full-time faculty member.  As the Director of Global Information Systems for a consulting firm I have hands on experience with Cloud Computing, Cyber-security, Global Help Desk Operations, Commercial Software Development, ERP and Software Systems, Global Networking, and I.T. driven Business Process Improvement.

As a full-time faculty member in the Computer Networking and Systems Engineering department at Moorpark College, I bring into the classroom practical real-world examples that supplement academic course materials.  I believe that every student can succeed in their coursework and am focused on student success.

For fun I like to do a little landscape photography, listen to punk rock and other music, play computer games, and talk with students about cyber-security trends.
