Biography

After a 20-year career as an officer in the United States Air Force, my wife and I returned to her home town of Elm Mott and I joined the Baylor University graduate program. In December of 2012, I graduated with my second Masters degree, the latest focusing on Information Systems. Having a background in cybersecurity while in the Air Force, I was honored to join the faculty of the MIS department in 2015, first as an adjunct instructor, then as a full-time permanent Assistant Clinical Professor. My research and teaching goals lie in the field of cybersecurity especially as it relates to leadership of organizations, and how to "spread the cybersecurity gospel" to as many folks as possible.
