Brief biography
I joined the UWL faculty after a 20-year career in the Army. My later Army assignments included teaching in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at West Point and leading an organization that developed software and hardware capabilities for use in cyber operations. I deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan. I spend much of my time outside of the classroom managing a woodland property and hobby farm north of La Crosse. I am originally from Waterloo, Iowa.
