I am currently a Lecturer at the USC Marshall School of Business teaching IT Strategy. My last job in Corporate America was First Vice President and Divisional CIO for Secondary Marketing at IndyMac Bank in Pasadena, which I left in 2006, long before the downfall.

I began my IT career in 1984, working in a variety of technical roles for companies ranging in size from small start-ups to large IT integrators, such as CSC. I previously held management positions at Hewlett-Packard and ARAMARK Uniform Services, where I was responsible for business-to-business electronic commerce initiatives. I hold an MBA from the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Management from Pepperdine University. I am a Certified Mortgage Technologist, a designation awarded by the Mortgage
Bankers Association (perhaps a dubious distinction today).

In 2005 I co-authored the Society for Information Management's first prize paper with Dr. Paul Gray of CGU and Dr. Omar El Sawy of USC. The paper was published in the December 2005 issue of MIS Quarterly Executive.

My professional interests include B2B Electronic Commerce/supply chain management. My hobbies include swimming.
