About
Personal
I’m originally from St. Louis, MO, but really grew up in New Providence, NJ (home). I spent a stint in Beijing, PRC but now hang my hat in Piscataway, NJ. I have three beautiful children: Chris (almost 3), Leila & Penny (both 1) and an amazing wife Lisa who holds everything together. Given the 3 small children, and immediate proximity from our current location to their grandparents I’m fairly rooted in NJ, though I love travel and do hope to someday be able to have a pushpin in my world map on every continent.
Professional
I’m a Rutgers University graduate who is currently employed by the CampusEAI Consortium. My current focus is development of our myCampus social portal platform, and efforts around eLearning and Sakai implementation, though I am also keenly interested in Web 2.0, online collaboration, and identity management issues.
I also perform independent consulting related to portals, learning management systems, enterprise architecture & object oriented design, open-source software and community involvement, and agile development practices.
I was previously employed with Rutgers Office of Instructional and Research Technology working on our Sakai implementation, and Enterprise Systems and Services as an Application Developer focused on the myRutgers portal, which is based on uPortal project, as well as Identity Management.
