I am the Chief Technology and Information Officer for SWWC Service Cooperative. My service to the members of SWWC began in May 2003 following my graduation from Dakota State University. I currently oversee all technical services and programs offered by SWWC, and also provide leadership to its internal technical operations. Some of the key technology programs and services that SWWC offers to our members include Technology Department Staffing, Technology Integration, Regional Wide Area Network Consortium, Cybersecurity as a Service, E-Rate Coordination and providing Technology Leadership Professional Development opportunities.

I was among one of the first individuals to achieve the Certified Education Technology Leader (CETL) certification when the assessments were first offered in beta format in December 2011. I have the privellage to be active in several professional organizations, including the Minnesota Education Technology Networks (METN), the Consortium of School Networking (CoSN), the Minnesota Chapter of CoSN (CoSN-MN), and the State Education Technology Directors Association (SETDA).
