My career has taken a winding path. From working at a bank, to building and managing a health and racquetball club, to teaching people how to fly motorized hang gliders, it has been, and continues to be, an interesting ride.

I started working for UW-Eau Claire in 1989 managing what was then called the administrative B-20 support area. In the early 90s I became the manager of the newly formed support group called Desktop Computing.

This group's mission was to support all faculty and staff desktops/laptops including software support, automated imaging, security management, research, and hardware repair. We migrated users from B-20s and Windows 3.x to WindowsNT in the "early days". Currently Desktop Computing supports Windows 7, along with Office2010, and a number of other programs such as Lync. They also beta test various software packages that someday might end up being implemented on our campus.

Next I worked as project manager to help our campus implement our new student administrative system; Oracle's Campus Solutions, which we refer to as MyBlugold CampS.

I act as UW-Eau Claire's Chief Information Officer. I represent UW-Eau Claire at the CIO council, ITMC, SIS Exec, and other agencies.

Interests include photography, F-class long range target shooting. I also have advanced SCUBA certifications and a private pilot license, none of which I use any more.
