I currently work for Utah Valley University as the Web Resource Director in
Marketing and Communications. Prior to this I worked in Distance Education as a resource
manager. I was the Director of Web and Application Development at Walden University and
Web Team Manager at Smyth Companies prior to working at UVU. 

I have a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in English from the University of Minnesota, a Masters in
Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Minnesota Carlson School of
Management, a Master of Science (MS) in Educational Change and Technology Innovation from
Walden University, and a recently completed Doctorate of Education (Ed.D) from Utah State
University in Higher Education. My dissertation topic was "An Assessment of Utah
Resident Incentives and Disincentives for Use of OpenCourseWare Resources." 

I also have Project Management Professional (PMP) certification through the Project
Management Institute although it is from back in 2001. 

As you can likely guess, I like learning. I will always like learning. I think education
is and should be enjoyable.
