Academic

In 2006 I finished my MBA from the University of Texas at Dallas with a specialization in Management Information Systems (MIS) and Strategy. While working on my MBA I realized that I felt comfortable in the academic world and decided I wanted to continue my studies past the MBA. My search for a doctoral program that would allow me to work on my doctorate part-time was a long one and is outlined here.

After many months of research, I decided upon Dakota State University’s Doctor of Science in Information Systems program. I started the program in the Fall of 2007 and am on track to complete the coursework in 2010 and hope to have the dissertation phase complete shortly after that. My research interests vary widely but generally fall into the following areas: Information Systems, Organizational Behavior, Project Management, Project Portfolio Management, Strategy and Human Capital Management.

      I'm an amateur photographer. I've got some pictures posted for your viewing pleasure. I shoot a Canon 40D with the 28-135mm Kit lens. Am patiently waiting my Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM lens...when I get it, you'll know :) Enjoy...and be kind to my almost good pictures :)

      Unlike me, my wife Tracie is a great photographer. You can see her work at a moment to keep photography. Give her a call if you need/want some photography work done...she's open to traveling to you too (expenses paid of course). :)

      Tracie shoots a Canon 5D with a few different lenses for various occassions (Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM and Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM).
