Official Bio
I have 10+ years of professional user interface design experience, working primarily with enterprise-class Web applications for higher education. Since joining Unicon in 1999, I have led user experience design efforts for Unicon's solutions and services, including portal, LMS, and assessment solutions, with a primary focus on uPortal and Sakai.

Where I Hang My Hat
Chandler, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona.

Family
I am happily married to a wonderful woman and have four great children. I consider the roles of husband and father to be my most important and worthy pursuits.
