About

On a journey...

I grew up in a small town in Piqua, Ohio. After high school I attended college at Bowling Green State University. I completed a B.F.A. in digital arts specializing in 3D animation and web development. After college I worked at cardSupply.com a ".com" that was the world's largest online supplier of greeting cards. At cardSupply.com I specialized in artwork, DeBabelizing, and testing.

Later I moved out west to Phoenix Arizona. I married my love, Cheridy Ryan. Then I began working at Arizona State University in 2006 as a web developer for the W. P. Carey School of Business. I stayed there for the next 11 years, working my way up to Manager of Information Systems leading the web development, network & operations team, and the multimedia teams. While working there I completed a Master's of Science in Graphic Information Technology from the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering.

I then began teaching as a Faculty Associate with the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering. I also work full-time at iFactor, which was purchased by Kubra in 2016. At Kubra I am a product manager helping clients and developers deliver communications software for the utility industry. Finally, I also consult from time-to-time on interesting projects.
