Why did you choose a career in IT/IS?
Having my first computer get a massive spyware/virus infestation at a young age sent me down the path of information systems/security. After cleaning up the mess, I knew I wanted to get into IT in some fashion and did a lot of side-work assembling and fixing computers. I settled into MIS as my field of study in college and ultimate career path in order to bridge the gaps between business needs, security requirements, and technical capabilities. Being able to design and implement secure, user friendly, and standards compliant solutions to meet every day challenges is very rewarding.

If you were an animal, which animal would you be and why?
Has to be a shark, the ocean is a vast place to explore with lots of crazy new things to find. And, sharks never look back since, as we all know, they don’t have necks…and necks are for sheep.
