Background
About
By education and trade, I am a programmer and engineer. My academic interests are interdisciplinary. I am a technologist who chooses to think critically about technology and encourages others to do the same.
I serve as Faculty Advisor for the ACM student chapter at Champlain College. I am also a reviewer for the academic journal Syllabus.
