I am a tenured instructor in the department of Computer Science and Information Systems at Mount Royal College in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. My teaching specialties are web application development, games development, object-oriented design, and technology and society studies.

I have over eight years of experience developing web sites for international clients, as well as over 16 years of corporate software development experience. I have been awarded the Canadian Social Science and Humanities Research Council Doctoral fellowship, the Petro-Canada Innovation in Research and Teaching Award (twice), as well as a Teaching Excellence Award (Mount Royal College) and a Meritorious Writing Award from the 2004 Information System Educators Conference.

I am also the owner of eTheoria Technology Group, which is the incorporated entity under which I do contract work and my own publishing.

I was born and raised in Calgary, and after some time living in Toronto, Los Angeles, and Montreal, I returned to Calgary in the mid-1990s. I am married and have two boys (Ben and Alex), currently aged 12 and 15.
