Work (Life Part 1)

What I do M-F 9-5, more or less

I work for the Academic Technology department at the University of New Hamshire.  I an a Senior Manager overseeing various IT services and infrastructure related to student and academic computing, media and collaboration, and web services.

I also teach at UNH each fall for the Computer Science department.  That's usually rather non-9-to-5.

Professionally, I'm involved with the NERCOMP organization, frequently presenting for them and helping to organized professional development events. Currently, I am very interested in DevOps and related practices.
