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.
