Biography

I'm a Senior Professor in the College of Business and Management at DeVry University in Southern California, where I've taught since 2000. I teach mainly courses in Business Information Systems, Project Management, and Operations Management. I also have a consulting practice doing medical software development.

Earlier, I held executive and management positions with large and small companies in the health care and aerospace industries. Projects I've worked on include a web-based calculator for bone fracture risk, a radiation probe used in cancer surgery, a digital x-ray analyzer, and the launch control system for the Peacekeeper nuclear missile.

I hold a Ph.D. in Business Administration from Northcentral University, an M.B.A. from California State University, Long Beach, an M.S. in Applied Physics from the California Institute of Technology, and a B.S. degree in Physics and Computer Science from Murray State University. My doctoral dissertation, completed in 2012, concerned learning object recommender systems.

I live in Long Beach, California with my wife Susan. In my spare time I enjoy practicing martial arts (kenpo karate), jogging in the park with my standard poodle Jet, and reading (mostly science fiction).
